Offerer AFROTC CLS scholarship - not sure what to do

[kinnem]

First I want to thank everyone for their tremendous input. We made the decision to sign on with our local school and take the scholarship that they offered. My son is quite thrilled to receive this honor. The offer just put us into a bit of a tailspin as we did not expect to have to make the decision on which college for another two months.

And to Moose's point, you are spot on. My son will graduate from college owing nothing.

I spoke with the Captain of my son's preferred school and he said that scholarships are not as easy to come by anymore and that my son can always request a transfer later.

Thanks again and I look forward to staying part of this community on service academy forums.

Congratulations. I know it wasn't an easy decision but I believe it is the correct one. And given he's already impressed them he will perhaps find it a bit easier to get that coveted SFT slot, not the he can (or plans) to slack off or anything.

Glad you plan to stick around. You're now the appointed expert on AFROTC CLS Scholarships!

Congratulation Barry!

Your son made the decision that I would have encouraged my son to make in this situation. These forced early decisions do add a lot of stress.

Congrats Barry to your DS on his scholarship! Once again I echo the thoughts and posts of all the posters before me. Alot of good info on this thread about the CLS and scholarship types that will help future families struggling with the same decision in the future.
