Hello,
Firstly, thank you to everyone who participates on this wonderful website; I have been regularly reading threads for a number of months and they have been incredibly helpful.
I am aiming for an ROTC (Army or Marine) scholarship (2024 high school graduate/class of 2028 for college). While I need to keep training to ensure that I meet the physical standards, I believe that, by the time of applications I should be fine (for the Army, at least). However, I intend to change my last name upon turning 18 in March of 2024 and thus am worried that the issues with having records show a different last name (although my birth certificate does not record one, luckily) for as long as they have may cause issues with the scholarship process.
Does anyone have any advice/guidance on this matter?
Thank you.
