Yes, it's dependent on DoDMERB approval or a waiver from AROTC. Yes, scholarship winners MAY NOT be issued a waiver depending on the needs of the service and the seriousness of the injury. If he's completely healed and it happened sometime back it may not even be an issue.My DS received the 4yr AROTC to his top two schools yesterday…he is very excited since this reduces the financial strain greatly. However, this is all new to us (no history of ROTC scholarship). Scholarship is dependent on DoDMeRB approval right? So if he gets a DQ for prior knee surgery (completely healed) who would grant the waiver.. school ROTC program or DoD? Are these waivers ever declined after winning the scholarship? Thank you and congratulations to all those awarded!
Thank you..so he would take the PFT (2 min pushups and situps, 2 mile run?) with school ROTC or his high school coach before school starts or during 1st semester?Yes, it's dependent on DoDMERB approval or a waiver from AROTC.

EDIT: The scholarship is also dependent on passing the PFT. It will not kick in until this happens.
Yay!!!! Congratulations

If they can’t come to the school. Do they send a nicer scholarship award certificate in the mail?The "Big Check" ceremony opportunity varies greatly by location, personalities, and availability. It would not hurt to ask the question of whoever was your local officer recruiter. I would think it would benefit them to award a scholarship in front of as many high school kids as they possibly can.
I believe the PFT is 1-mile run and 1-minute eventsThank you..so he would take the PFT (2 min pushups and situps, 2 mile run?) with school ROTC or his high school coach before school starts or during 1st semester?
The pft will be conducted at school with the AROTC unit.Thank you..so he would take the PFT (2 min pushups and situps, 2 mile run?) with school ROTC or his high school coach before school starts or during 1st semester?
And for 3-year winners, how early can I do that? The deadline is December 2024, right?The pft will be conducted at school with the AROTC unit.
My ROO said since I am overseas I can do it when I arrive on campus in August. He said to give them as my mailing address the ROTC address for the school so I can set it up nearby there. I assume DoDMERB will accept that as my "mailing address"?Dodmerb medical exams can require some work and is needed for the ROTC scholarship to take effect. My DS got done and cleared early last summer for USNA. You should be able to create an account on dodmets soon if not now and setup an appointment for the exam.
