I did not apply for a NROTC scholarship nor am I an expert in them. But I do believe that accepting a scholarship now simply "reserves" your scholarship, and you can decline it later. Many people who get into the SAs also have ROTC scholarships which they turn down later as they enter the academies. I hope this helps and that others can confirm this.
When did he submit his application? I am waiting to hear back but submitted it super late. Wondering if we're on the same board or not.
I think his deadline was January 31st.
Assuming your DS is a current HS senior, then he would have been offered a 4 year NROTC scholarship.
He is a current HS student. He is planning on going to USNA but all the advice on here is to keep plan B open. So we just wanted to make sure that he should accept offer of NROTC scholarship and respectfully decline later.
Yes it is a 4 yrs my DS got one too but he also got appointment offer to USNA. He will take the SA. He did accept the NROTC as plan b just in case
Luckily too my DS has been offered(and accepted) an appointment to USNA. I just wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly that he can accept NROTC Scholarship and decline later. Posts on this forum had/have me worried about "what if something happens and he doesn't make it to IDay" hence-Keeping plan B open.
Then super congrats. I missed that. Watching UFC and reading phone. Yes you can accept then turn it down. DS is still waiting on AFROTC and USAFA
Is USAFA first choice or USNA? If you don't mind me asking.
I think USAFA would be first but he loved USNA visit. We are trying to be 0 influence. I know since he was a kid he wanted to fly snd go to USAFA. He did NJROTC and his commander told him to apply to USNA since he could fly there too. He got NROTC on his first board and USNA w in two weeks of application being submitted. He wants to hear from USAFA to make a final decision but he did say he will take SA above any ROTC even at the Ivy schools
Mine is the same but USNA top choice. But would've gladly/thankfully taken USAFA also. Wants to fly, but is open to other career paths if that doesn't work out for any reason. Has wanted USNA since 8th grade. I know a lot of people on here do... wish there was space for ALL who are highly qualified.
Yeah. I also see so many got usafa who wanted usna and viceversa. We should trade like draft day lol
Best of luck to your DS!
Same. Maybe they end up classmates at the same SA. Swfl here
It will be interesting to see! But funny thing is no one knows names on here. LOL
Will PM when he decides
