My son was awarded a NROTC scholarship through the Marine Corps. He did not attend NSI due to a religious exemption we requested. We were told to wait 3-6 months for a decision. Long story short, we just arrived at the school he picked and are awaiting a decision if he can participate as a College Programmer. However the cost of this college will put us in debt and are contemplating pulling him out and heading home. The staff here has never dealt with a situation like this and they are “looking into it”.
Per Great Lakes, if his RE is approved and he successfully completes 2023 NSI he will be reimbursed. However if it’s denied then the scholarship is lost and we are stuck with the bill.
With the CDC recent revisions of all its Covid mandates, service members winning their court cases and more information regarding the C-19 vaccine efficacy we are praying that the military will drop it’s mandate.
Is there anyone else out there in the same situation as us, where their child won a Navy ROTC scholarship and did not attend NSI due to a RE?
