I wish I had applied to Hawaii. Thought never crossed my mind :'( too late to apply?Received 4 year scholarship to NCSU, Hawaii, and Texas.
For what it's worth, Hopeful Mother, 1. my DS was awarded a 3-year to NCSU which he is not taking (he's going to PSU where he also got a 3-year), so they have one available at NCSU; and 2. the PMS at NCSU told my son that he's never had to say no to a transfer request; he always figures out a way to make it happen.
Looks like there are a lot of 3 year scholarships this time around. Is this typical of the 3rd Board or due to budget constraints this year?
My understanding is that the 3 year scholarship starts in the sophomore year. Is that right? If so, is there any way to start it right away? Has anyone heard of the local ROTC unit supplimenting the federal scholarship or do they usually award others who don't have any at all?
How does the service commitment change? Do the 3 year scholarship students end up in reserves after graduation? Are they given the same opportunities as the 4 year winners?
We are very proud and excited to have a scholarship! Just trying to figure out how this works.
