The early board (Nov) recepients would have bee notified by now. The "regular" board hasn't met yet. Those results are usually communicated by April/May.
My DD was awarded the MO scholarship on the early board. She was told only ten were selected for the early board, however it was unclear if that was ten nationwide or in just one district. There have been very few on this forum that were selected in the early board.
I have seen some rejections on here, so my guess is that no news is good news for you. It means you're still in the game. Hang in there!
Would there have been an update if scholarship was denied? All necessary paperwork was turned in with interviews and PFT completed by early board deadline. Still no news.
Each recruiting district notifies differently from what I've observed over the last couple of years. Portals may or may not be updated. One thing you could do is contact the RS that is handling your packet to see if they can give you feedback. Just keep engaged in the process--meaning the applicant, not the parent.
As I recall, my son was notified (years ago) via email after the first board. He was encouraged to update his package, which we did. All that is a way of saying, be sure to check your spam email folder!
My DS was contacted by the XO and told that he did not make the first board but was still in the running. He made suggestions on where he needed to improve on the PFT (pull ups) and he's now preparing to retake the PFT in February. I also have seen very little on here regarding NROTC MO. I'm not sure if they send out denials or if everyone is moved to the next selection board. This is all new for us.
Each recruiting district communicates differently. There are 9 districts with multiple RS (recruiting stations) underneath.
Back on my son's first go around, he (and others) were notified on the early board that no one was awarded a scholarship. He received no notification on the second board. (The person handling the packet had gotten out of the Corps)
Here is a post regarding my son's journey through the process:

wow your son got a 285+ pft and still got denied his first try. That just shows how competitive it is to be a Marine. In my district in MD we find out sometime this month whether we got a scholarship from the first board.
Awesome! He'll love Bulldog and The Quigley!It was pretty agonizing and confusing at the time. The Captain that replaced the Marine that left was completely surprised and walked the packet through every step of the way for the second go round. All turned out well, he got the scholarship and has done well. He is set to go to OCS Bulldog this summer. He also was "voluntold" to try for an aviation contract -- and received one. Perseverance pays off.
