rocatlin.. I have a question about the 4 year scholarship that your son was awarded during his freshman year of college. According to the Purdue website, you can re-apply for the 4 year scholarship while you are a freshman but you can not be enrolled as an NROTC Midshipmen. It sounds like your son was in the college program when he re-applied for the 4 year. Do you know if this rule specific to just Purdue or is this a general rule. Or, are we not understanding something. Also, was your son able to participate in the Cortramid the summer after his freshman year given that he was awarded the 4 year.
I went and talked to the NROTC at Purdue today. They told me that their application and info is about 2-3 years out of date, and they are currently in the process of revamping itIn the past it was true that if you were an NROTC midshipman you could not re-apply for the 4 year scholarship. That changed last year so I suspect the Purdue web site is simply out of date.
You can absolutely be a College Program freshman in an NROTC unit and reapply for the 4-year National.

@JakeReitz What did Purdue tell you? Add some details to confirm or correct what we have suggested.I went and talked to the NROTC at Purdue today. They told me that their application and info is about 2-3 years out of date, and they are currently in the process of revamping it
Basically I was told that they are in the process of making a new application for non-scholarship NROTC and it will be up soon. He said they've got some guys who probably shouldn't be in nrotc so they'd like to weed them out before hand@JakeReitz What did Purdue tell you?

You must be contracted to attend any summer training. This means you are either on scholarship or have achieved advanced standing in your rising junior year. DS missed CORTRAMID because the sideload scholarship he earned did not kick in until second semester sophomore year. If you have a good sense already of what community you want to go to then missing CORTRAMID is probably not a big deal. Besides, you'll learn a bunch about the various communities anyway... bt you won't have the "experience" of them.Also, do College Programmers attend summer training, like CORTRAMID and MWTC, and it's pushed back for non-scholarship cadets, or do they not participate at all?
Hi NavyNOLA, just wondering why that's the best way to earn a scholarship? I'm interested because I wasn't selected.

My son's still says - items waiting to be processed .All of the Marine option recipients from the spring scholarship board should have been placed by today. Check your portal if you haven't already.[/Q

Can I start the application process over again for the 4 year now, or do I need to wait until I am working with my OSO or NROTC staff as a College Programmer during my freshman year?
