I know they list the "indicated" major, but what does the following (from the OP) mean? (emphasis is mine)When I got my letter informing me of my scholarship, it did say "Indicated Major: Engineering" . So that seems to me that they do indicate the type of major.
When you are informed of your scholarship, the papers say what type of scholarship and major. If it says technical major, what majors would fall into that category.
Perhaps you can enlighten all of us on the different types of scholarships the Army is offering and what regs cover which "discipline"? Thanks!If you still need a list of what falls under that discipline I can see if I can find the reg.
It is in the application (or at least the 2006 one I'm looking at). It is also in Cadet Command pamphlet 145-1, appendix E. Hope that helps.
WP is not AROTC, every cadet regardless of their degree will have the exact same core courses during their 4 yrs there at WP. It is their electives that track them for their major. AROTC poli-sci majors at USC will not have the same core courses as the TAMU cadet in EE.ulysses said:If so, what's the rationale ... bearing in mind that West Point does not require its cadets to declare their majors until their sophomore year? Note this apparent rule applies to both scholarship and non-scholarship students in DS's detachment.
bruno said:Finally- Clarksonarmy is relaying reality of scholarships- which BTW is not new but rather a return to the norm. There was a couple of year blip where the Army was handing out scholarship money like water- but those days were an anomaly.
I suppose he can just pick the major he's most interested in at this time... let's call it Sociology.
When he knows he prefers, say, Economics, he will simply submit a new form at that time show that curriculum and his progress toward that degree.
Couple of considerations:
1) Switching Academic Discipline Mix (ADM) Category http://www.uccs.edu/~armyrotc/docs/ADM List.doc from a higher number to a lower number will be a problem starting with this year's scholarship awardees (YG16), but not for those freshmen entering right now (YG15)
2) If switching majors requires and extra semester or two semesters, this can complicate matters and so should be discussed with Cadre ahead of time. Per Clarkson's post of earlier this week, you would be called a "Completion Cadet" after your MSIV year, and monitored during your extra semester/s until you commission. It's up to the Army whether to continue paying your tuition/books/stipend in your extra semester/s.
