NROTC Scholarship Awarded

I was made aware today that I have been selected for the 4-year NROTC Scholarship, so I wanted to ask if there was some kind of spreadsheet on here where I could list my status and such, similar to how it is done for an appointment to a service academy.
Congratulations, my DD just received a phone call the day before Thanksgiving to communicate that she was also awarded the 4 year ROTC. We’re super excited about it. Her plan C is to take that NROTC scholarship to A&M. However, she did receive her first nomination today in her portal for USNA. Hoping it turns into an appointment soon
 
Our son's recruiter just told him that the second board isn't until December 12th. Is that accurate? Sounds a bit strange to me since we thought it was a November board.
The board dates are listed toward the later slides in this brief. The 2nd board happened jist before Thanksgiving. I have heard some people received phone calls but I don't know if the official results have been released yet.

There is a board every month. There was one in October and November.

My son's NROTC application portal early this morning still said "Your application is at Naval Education and Training Command for final processing and selection determination." He didn't get a call before Thanksgiving so I'm assuming this means he didn't get picked in the November board (if his application was even reviewed in that board, we don't really know if it made the cutoff date) but that he's not been rejected yet either (hopefully!).

Also I'm clearly going to need to take up knitting again to find something to do to keep myself even more busy. From reading other posts, it seems our kids have a MUCH easier time with the waiting than we parents do!!

I just wrapped a discussion about my pending retirement with the Chief of Staff. I wiggled in the question about when board results might be known.

Turns out the Admiral had just slapped the table on the results. Now it goes back to the folks who update the website, send out emails, and update the portals. That can take a couple hours, but because this was a reasonably sized board, I expect something to be released this afternoon. So for those of you who have OCD, you can put a band-aid on your index finger and start clickety-clicking on the website. But it will take a bit before the site updates.

That’s all great!

Wondering minds want to know: will you stick around here, after retirement??

I will dabble for sure, but I don't want to overstay my welcome. I have the perfect face for being a web contributor, but I will always be happy to answer questions. I just won't have that buzzline to the front office. I can see if my relief wants to continue this, but only time will tell.
 
I think I am more nervous for my daughter than she is! She has four plans, with the fourth being simply to enlist in the Navy. She knows she will get there somehow, just not sure which path it will be! For my sake, I hope the path becomes clear soon;)

Congratulations and thank you for the help you provided and questions you answered!

Thank you so much for the information! I just received an email that I was a scholarship recipient. Literally jumped out of my seat in math class and yelled 😂.

I remember that day for DS. Congrats to you. I even recall him calling me to say that he got it, and that he was surprised by it and that his email also had live confetti in it!!
 
Do all emails come out at the same time?
They tend to come out within an hour of each other. Sometimes you want to make sure you check your spam folder. And one time, there was an applicant who decided to delete the email he placed on his application, which meant it was dead-ended. Took an extra week to figure that one out.
 
If our students did not receive an email, does that mean they have been passed over for the scholarship? The portal just says a decision has not been made, but I understand that their application does not move from board to board. So, if they did not get notified, then......?

No. He has an opportunity to receive a scholarship on each successive board.
