My DS was invited to apply to the honors program at Norwich. Does anyone have any feedback on it? Is it worth it? Any benefit Army-wise? Is it a lot of extra work etc…
I'm curious about this too, my son was also invited to apply to Norwich's honors program ! We're hoping to get more info on it at the accepted students weekend at the end of the month. Right now we're waiting to hear about his NROTC acceptance so I'm especially interested in knowing if he does get it if it, would be too much doing both programs.My DS was invited to apply to the honors program at Norwich.

He should probably reach out the the AROTC rep. at Norwich to get this answered but I believe you are correct that they can participate without scholarship. If there are constraints or limits to the number of enrollees, I would imagine those with scholarships get preference. My DD was told by her ROTC rep that there was plenty of room for her if she gets the scholarship.Is NROTC not something the kids just sign up for and join as an elective? I’ve heard there are constraints on numbers of students they can take but I would think at Norwich they’d have space… is that wrong?y DS will he participating in AROTC (no scholarship at this time…) but I assumed he could just do that, not have to get accepted per se.
My understanding at Norwich is that if you apply as a cadet (vs civilian) you choose your branch and are then in the ROTC program. If you are not awarded a national scholarship, then you may have the opportunity to earn one on campus. I'm not sure what happens after the second year, but there shouldn't be any issue going into NROTC or AROTC without a scholarship as a freshman at Norwich. Of course, always best to go to the source at the UniversityHe should probably reach out the the AROTC rep. at Norwich to get this answered but I believe you are correct that they can participate without scholarship.

How do you apply for the 3.5 scholarship?According to my son who is a 1st year cadet, to belong to Corp of Cadets, you have to participate in ROTC ( I think it's the cadets choice which branch ??). And you definitely can do this without a scholarship. My son did, then was awarded a 3.5 yr scholarship in December. They are competitive but attainable.
