NROTC At The Citadel

[JazzManCam]

Hello, this is my first post but I wanted to see if I could get some more info.

I’ve been academically accepted to The Citadel and I’m on track to be medically accepted in the coming weeks. My goal is to become a Marine Officer and I’m just wondering how they give out their NROTC scholarships? I’m aware that I’d be applying for a 3 year one, but any more insight is helpful.

Advice above is all good. Recognize that applying for a 3 year campus based scholarship - you are application is to the Marine Corps not The Citadel and you need to meet their profile. The most important aspect is your GPA, and your PT score. GPA first semester will be key - strive for better than just a 3.0. Concentrate on the PT elements that the Marine Corps focuses on.
