Hi. When I go to my top schools NROTC program to tell then I would like to be apart of their program because I did not receive an NROTC Scholarship, should I email or call them? I don't which one would be easier on them. Thank you
 
For my DS's school, he had to fill out a separate application for Texas A&M - Galveston and be admitted to the program.

I would go on their website first to see if there is any information. If not, then I would contact them directly. I think some you can just show up?

If it's any consolation, DS did not receive the NROTC scholarship either. But he did get into the NROTC program and now will have to work hard to get the side scholarship.

Thank you that's what I plan to do as well
 
Besides checking out their website, email and call (unless the web site contains the needed info). Yo need to let them know you plan on enrolling in NROTC so they can:
1. Let you know the specific courses you need to enroll in to be part of the program
2. Send or point you to their application
3. Send or point you to their physical form (similar to a high school sports physical).
4. Send you report date info and let you know what to bring. Many programs start early, even before other students report, in order to do a week long NROTC orientation. Easy at some schools, harder at others. Some schools don't even do that, but you won't know unless you contact them.

EDIT: Your best point of contact will be the Freshman adviser if you can reach him or her. Anyone should do in a pinch. Do this before mid-May if at all possible, as folks disappear on other assignments during the summer. When we contacted our freshman adviser over the summer for some additional questions we had, he was in Afghanistan... and it wasn't for vacation.

Thank you for your help!
 
Yes the Freshman advisor is the best resource, but the office administrator may be the easiest to contact to find out the details on how to join as a freshman college programmer. (FYI College Program is what NROTC calls their non scholarship path). For another thread response I was on the University of Maryland NROTC website. They have some good information on their process for college program cadets. It may not be exactly what your new unit will expect, but it will give you a good feel for what to expect. You can find the forms and information here http://navalrotc.umd.edu/forms-navalrotcnewstudents.html
