Our son won a 4-year Army ROTC award and is thrilled. He has also applied for NROTC - Marines Option which releases results in April. Can he accept the Army ROTC scholarship and then decide to accept the NROTC - Marines Option if he earns that scholarship? Or if he accepts the Army ROTC scholarship should he no longer consider the NROTC - Marines option? He wants to act with integrity about this. Thank you.

Yes he can accept AROTC and still do NROTC if a scholarship comes through. Semper Fi!

From reading other threads on this, most folks say accept them, he earned them. My son's situation was a little different since he had applied and was admitted to his ED school in December. He had been awarded his NROTC scholarship at that school late October, but had also applied for an AROTC scholarship to be placed there and other schools. He communicated to both the Navy and Army units at that school that if he was accepted he'd go Navy. Within a few days of being admitted to that school he was awarded the 4 year AROTC to that school, Yale and UTK. Since he'd already been admitted to his first choice and had decided he would go Navy, he declined the AROTC. Had he been rejected from his first choice school, he definitely would have accepted the AROTC. Opportunities come with big decisions; they are so fortunate to have them!
