Actually I should have clarified - Merit scholarship that are offered by the institution. Sometimes these are offered at admission based on the applicants stats. Each college is different some kids only get merit scholarships if they have "need" and sometimes there are restrictions that they be used for tuition.
In thinking further about this - I think the real payoff is when financial aid is filed for the sophomore year -all the monies received from ROTC (monthly allowance, book allowance, tuition) don't have to be declared. This will keep some needy student from falling through the cracks and they may still be eligible to receive Pell and other grants to help with room and board.
