Hello, My AROTC Scholarship status just changed from Boarded/Under Consideration to Boarded. Is this a good sign?

So for starters, I found out Thursday that I received the Marine Option 4-year scholarship to Virginia Tech. I was DEFINITELY NOT expecting it- in fact, I had assumed it was a lost cause and begun looking at other branch scholarships. Although I am still waiting on a decision from the Naval...

Hey everyone! I will try to keep it as short as possible, but I need some advice on some options I am looking into. So I waited all of high school to apply to all the service academies ('21), but didn't get accepted into any. I wanted to try again, so I decided to attend a jr. college and...

I understand that the 3rd AROTC Scholarship Selection Board is convening this week. When can I expect to receive a decision?

I'm debating on whether I should go to Virginia Tech or and in-state public college. Much of my decision depends on if I can get a scholarship while not being medically qualified. In other words, do I need to be medically qualified by the year I attend LEAD or the perspective field training...

Hi, So my AFROTC scholarship application will be going to the board held this Monday, which means tomorrow (Thursday) is the last day I can edit the listed majors on my application. I've looked and looked, but couldn't find a clear answer to this: when offered a tech scholarship, can you...

Hello, I received a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship and I'm in my first year right now, and i just have a lot of questions about the difference between ROTC and active duty. I don't mind the PT at all, I have no trouble getting up and the workouts could actually be harder imo. But i just get...

Hi! I am currently a freshman in college and I applied for the 4 year scholarship, I have heard of the 30 credit limit for collegiate students, and I was wondering if anyone knew if they count all credits completed in the first year. I will be at 30 at the end of spring semester, but I submitted...

I recently received a four-year ROTC scholarship and I need to select which school I would like to apply the scholarship to. Here's my dilemma; I haven't yet visited any of my top three schools, and I'm torn on which one I would like to attend. Of course, I will submit my acceptance letter and...

I am currently an AROTC cadet with a 3Y AD Scholarship. I am 99% sure I have Raynauds Syndrome, and understand that it's a DQ. I have not gotten it officially diagnosed yet though. How would you go about this? I don't want to just give up on the military but I don't want to get caught lying. If...

I see a lot of threads of people asking how competitive they are or don't understand the National Process. You are boarded only once and receive a score out of 1400 points. After you are bordered you are placed on the Order of Merit List (OML) for consideration. After each board, students are...

About a year and a half ago I had a spontaneous pneumothorax (in short, it was caused by my height and high growth rate). I had surgery to fix it and so far everything has been perfectly fine, I’m fit, play sports, and according to the Major I interviewed with I would have passed the PFT with...

Hello fellow aspiring officers, I took the physical fitness assessment (PFA) for the 4-year AROTC Scholarship today, and I think I did well. However, I don't know how well I did relative to other AROTC Scholarship applicants because Cadet Command hasn't posted a percentile-based chart of the...

Just wondering if any other AROTC scholarship applicants received the Ike Skelton Early Commissioning Program Scholarship Offer. Has anyone taken this offer? If so can anyone expand on what it entails?

Hello All, I am a sophomore cadet currently in AFROTC not on scholarship. I originally entered college on a 4 year technical scholarship, however, I ultimately decided that a technical degree was not in my best interest academically and dropped the scholarship just before the start of this...

Hello all, I am currently an MSII on a three-year scholarship. I go to a crosstown affiliate school with my ROTC program. However, my scholarship has not paid for my tuition yet, due to the fact that the individual, on my campus, handles all of the tuition payments for the cadets with...

Hi, If you are attending any federal service academy, are you still allowed to apply for scholarships and use the money for expenses that come up (ex: traveling home for breaks) instead of tuition? If anyone could explain the complete process I would appreciate it very much :)

Hello, I'm currently a junior in high school and I am working on putting together and building my application for Marine option NROTC. Any and all advice for strengthening my application is greatly appreciated and will be carefully considered. Academics: GPA: 4.3 weighted/3.93...
