I was recently selected for the third board as a 4-year scholarship winner. I am beyond grateful I have been selected for this. Tears came down as I opened my portal. However, I only received it to one school on my list of intent. I am going to visit every school I was accepted into over the next month, but I am wondering if it is possible to switch it to another school? I am not disappointed with the school I was given it for, but I still want to visit the other schools I was accepted into to know for sure where I want to go. Some people say you never where you want to go until you step on campus. I am aware it says "If an applicant wishes to change schools, they must formally request the change by following the guidelines provided with their winner letter", but I know it is the third board and room at other schools may be limited.

If anyone can provide some advice it would be very helpful. Thank you so much! Congrats to other winners!
 
Congratulations on your scholarship!

You can transfer so long as you are both accepted to the school and the battalion has room for you. But it is important that you follow the instructions in your award letter and make your request as soon as possible.

This question and response was perfectly timed as I was wondering the same thing.
