Hello all! I am newer to understanding everything concerning rotc in college and what would be the best options for me. Any help or input is appreciated in response to my questions. A little background on myself if it helps answer the following questions: I am currently a junior in high school, have a gpa above 4.0 (weighted), participate in three varsity sports, and hold various leadership positions throughout my school/church/personal life. I do not have a set idea of the colleges that I would like to apply to (preferably in the south though), but I do know that I would like to participate in rotc.
Questions:
1. I have a desire to pursue a bachelor in nursing, is there a certain rotc branch that would have more benefits to this career?
2. Does everyone entering rotc earn a scholarship? If so, does scholarship amount vary depending on the school or state?
3. Do rotc programs select certain people or are there specific qualifications that might eliminate people?
4. Is there a possibility that I attend a college for the rotc, but find out later on that I have not been selected for the program?
5. I have seen people say that say that rotc will pay for either room and board or books? Are you able to choose which one?
6. Are there any colleges that anyone would recommend that are in the southern U.S., have a good rotc program and nursing program?
Thank you for any input!
