For AROTC it is limited to 4 year recipients. If not accessed directly to AD after they commission they should also receive reimbursement for travel back to their home of record.* slight addition of info: Reimbursement for these ROTC participant first trips to campus is applicable for scholarship recipients.
So once a cadet contracts for his or her 4-yr AROTC scholarship they are able to apply for travel reimbursement? Is this for military travel on orders such as Cadet troop Leadership, Advance camp, AA School, or Airborne school? Or will they pay for Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break travel too?For AROTC it is limited to 4 year recipients.

I cannot speak with certainty to AROTC, but I highly suspect it is the same as NROTC. NROTC only reimbursed for initial travel to report to the unit, not for travel to and from breaks, summers, etc; or even to return to campus in subsequent years. Travelling on orders to training is handled directly through the unit. Someone in the unit staff (HR clerk I believe) makes the travel arrangements, so there is no upfront expense from the midn/cadet.So once a cadet contracts for his or her 4-yr AROTC scholarship they are able to apply for travel reimbursement?

In our experience it is the same in AROTC. However, the HRA did not make travel arrangements for initial travel to school, only for travel on orders during the school years.I cannot speak with certainty to AROTC, but I highly suspect it is the same as NROTC.

How long did it take to get reimbursement for initial travel to school for your 4yr AROTC winner? DS’s school has facilitated CLIP-B pay but not this. They seemed to not know?? Maybe they wait until cadet reports again as MSII?In our experience it is the same in AROTC.

Yes, that is what I meant as well. Initial travel to the unit was on the incoming midn.In our experience it is the same in AROTC. However, the HRA did not make travel arrangements for initial travel to school, only for travel on orders during the school years.
Generally the travel documentation is submitted early in the MSI year when they contract. Your cadet needs to contact the HRA at their school or host school. Not all HRA's are skilled or care so sometimes the cadet has to push. Have them reach out to their MS primary instructor if the HRA isn't helpful. The primary regulation is AR145-1. Maybe @Montana State Army ROTC or @MohawkArmyROTC can provide suggestions.How long did it take to get reimbursement for initial travel to school for your 4yr AROTC winner?

He’s done all that. Hopefully the last request when he submitted the CLIP-B to HRA will do it. You’re exactly right, though. I don’t think that person knows much about it, as most cadets don‘t come from across the country.Generally the travel documentation is submitted early in the MSI year when they contract.
