jketron..... to be clear, I am not talking the ROTC program or ROO. I am talking college financial aid and grant offices to make freshman year affordable for folks that did not get a 4 year. ROTC will not move....its the individual colleges that might/will because of a kid now has a 3-year.

Pa-Outdoorsman.....We were in the exact situation as I am speaking of The Citadel, and also out of SC. I am reading directly off their 2022 flyer to which they covered tuition and fees for the gap year (freshmen 3-year ROTC) for the Class of '26. "will cover tuition and fees for that gap...

In our case, SMCs in South Carolina and Virginia, both offered tuition freshmen year then room/board soph - senior year once the kids contracted soph year. It was publicly announced (not a special one-off deal) to get the 3 year ROTC kids. It was offered for the Class of '26 and I think...

Schools are clambering to get 3 year scholarships, especially if you son will be are part of the Corps of Cadets at A&M. Its far less money the school has to shell out in scholarships/grants later on. I can name quite a few schools that compete for kids with 3 years, by offering...

The applications to AROTC and to the colleges are really independent up to the point where AROTC asks for the list of 7 (i think) colleges you kid would like that AROTC scholarship applied to. My DS did everything in parallel. Applied and was accepted to all his schools well ahead of...

Our DS is a 2026 with AROTC scholarship. He also is a winter athlete for the school. On the ROTC dinner the Friday before (if it is this year), take your Rook home afterward if possible. Being out of state, we left ours over the weekend to set up his room and meet the ROTC kids before...

My DS is a 3 year ROTC scholarship at Norwich. The way his works is that all Freshmen and Sophomores in the Corps are required to be in a "non-binding" ROTC program, unless on a 4+ year ROTC scholarship. Then you contract freshmen year. So as a 3 year, he just completed his freshman...

MY DS got a really nice letter in a diploma type folder last year from Cadet Command, when he was selected. It is really nice an in his room. Hope they do it again for you all, too.

Our DS was accepted to 3 of the 4 that yours was accepted (did not apply to VA Tech.) Before he got his ROTC scholarship, between VMI, Norwich, and The Citadel, it was Norwich that really worked with us on scholarship money. We are out of state of both SC and VA, so we got The Citadel and...

Last year, AROTC seemed to release them around 1600 EST if I remember. Folks Boarded/U status started changing to Awarded pretty quick during that time frame.

Usbjbma, thank you for your perspective. Our DS is attending '26 Norwich with AROTC, but also fully completed his WP application, including two MOC nominations, etc. and was deemed 3Q qualified. He did receive his WP decline notice several weeks ago. However, during the time frame, we...
