It appears that the Fat Lady is singing for AROTC and AFROTC scholarship award selections from what I can decipher from the latest threads. It appears that NROTC is not far behind. This years selection process has indeed changed from previous years based on my observation/lurking. I guess because of budgets cuts and down sizing of military forces there seemed to be fewer scholarships handed out. The board never seemed to really "light up" with award winners as before. I noticed with AFROTC, the majority of award winners from the first board were Type 7. The later boards appeared to be shifting to Type 2 awards with a Type 1 upgrade if one selected from a short lists of majors. Also the majority of AFROTC awardees appeared to have scored 30+ on the ACT. The AROTC this year seemed to be handing out more 3 year AD scholarships this year. The scholarships appeared to trickled in over weeks instead of all at one time like in the past. Also it appeared that the list of schools that the AROTC scholarships were offered were shorter, 1 or 2 schools opposed to 3 or 4. This is just my observation from the 2016 awards winners from the past, anyone else's reflection of this years award selection is welcomed. To close I would just like to congradulate all the award winners for there accomplishments and would like to encourage the ones that weren't so lucky to continue to chase the dream. It's not over until YOU say it's over!
