Hello everyone. Been stalking for a while but now my DS is about ready to take the plunge w/NROTC scholarship app for Fall 2015 and I'm going to need a little help, I'm sure. So, here I am...
The first thing to pop up that seems a little strange is that the online NROTC Scholarship Application won't be available until June 1st this year. Am I reading that right? It seems like previous years the date was March 15th or at least by April.
We have sort of built a plan around starting the online application in April so that we could get the teacher/counselor recommendations going before the school year is over (late May for us in TN), etc., work on it over the summer a little more and finish it in time for the first board in August. Now, it appears we'll have to keep in touch with teachers over the summer and ask them to work with the Recruiter during their vacation/off time.
Any insights or lessons learned as to how to navigate this process most effectively are very much appreciated.
