How much of the costs does the 4-year scholarship cover? Does it cover room and board too?
Typo - $5000 a semester for room and board - correct?If you chose to use your scholarship for room and board you will receive $500 a semester which you can apply to your room and board bill. Remember that you also receive $600 a semester for books and $420 a month for stipend. ROTC doesn’t always mean “free school”, but it usually makes a college education more affordable.
At this point is it safe to assume I didn’t get a scholarship? It doesn’t say “Not selected” but it still says “Boarded/UC”If you chose to use your scholarship for room and board you will receive $500 a semester which you can apply to your room and board bill.

If you are flexible with what school you go to for an Army ROTC scholarship, you can have room and board paid for with your scholarship. Some schools even cover your first year if you have a three year scholarship. I consider University of Toledo the "Gold Standard" for additional incentives.

Montana state is doing this for non-resident national 3yr AD winnersHi Motherof4,
Yes, there are a number of schools which give a scholarship for the first year on a 3 year "advanced designee" (AD) scholarship. University of Toledo is one. Xavier University is another. I would suggest you contact the Army ROTC battalion and ask. It is most likely that a private school would offer this type of incentive.
