Hi everyone.
Here is a quick bio/background of myself; I am currently sophomore in college attending a four year private school with an AROTC program. I always had an interest in the Army but recently realized it is something I really want to pursue. I looked on the AROTC website and found out that my battalion offers 2,3, and 4 year scholarships for qualified students.
I have an appointment with the AROTC office for tomorrow morning to discuss my interest with them further.
When I found out there was a chance I could get a 2-year scholarship and participate in the program I was ecstatic. But, the other day I was talking with one of the cadets currently in the program and they said it is very hard to get a scholarship. This was very disheartening to hear.
I know on the AROTC website it says they are given out based on merit but now I am getting bummed that they might not give any out.
My cumulative GPA is a 3.75 and I made Dean's List in the Spring '10 and I already have a leadership position on campus.
How difficult is it to receive a 2-year scholarship for the AROTC program?
