Did anyone else get a letter from the Paul Revere Battalion?
My son got one (because he listed one of the schools on his AROTC application). Among other things, the letter said
"if you applied to one of the 9 schools you may not receive a national scholarship offer for the future class of 2016 due to the limited availability of these types of offers. Do not be discouraged, as we anticipate the majority of our scholarship offers will come in the form of campus based offers to the most qualified of applicants. Selection results of these campus based offers will be announced by mid April 2012..."
I am confused about the relationship of these scholarships to those granted by cadet command.
Say my son receives a scholarship from cadet command, to a school or schools not in the Paul Revere Battalion. If he accepts that scholarship will that take him out of the running for one at a PRB college? If he wants to attend the PRB school does he have to gamble and decline any earlier cadet command scholarship offer in hopes of a later, campus based offer that may or may not come?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this!
