good question, as the current website still lists $3,000 as the stipend Vandy gives to scholarship recipients... see paragraph 7 http://nrotcvanderbilt.org/about.php Of course the webpage could be old and in need of updating. I found a page at USD NROTC website that still says NROTC scholarship awardees commit to FOUR years of active service. It's been FIVE years active for at least 18 months.@chattahoochee, is the quote below still true? Have you checked on room and board?.
