Room and Board

I found this updated list of extras by school. This is for Navy ROTC. I am sure y'all can find similar for others.

Texas A&M offers the Patriot Scholarship (covers room and most of meal plan) to any contracted cadet (any branch). Noncontracted cadets receive in state tuition.

do you know if the Patriot would kick in if you pursued a sideload scholarship and got it... in other words, if you don't have the 4 year NROTC

On TAMU's website it says for any cadet on an ROTC scholarship. There are some caveats such as no 5th year cadets, no cadets on probation, etc. Read about it here:

Scholarships | Texas A&M Corps of Cadets

There are four categories of scholarships available specifically for members of the Corps of Cadets awarded and administered through the Corps Scholarship Office.

This was huge game-changer for my ds (put TAMU as a major contender) when it was announced last year and he has several friends benefitting from it.

Yes, it kicks in as soon as your ROTC scholarship activates.

I'm honestly not sure, but I would think that's a good possibility. Definitely worth checking asking!

Any ROTC student without a Tuition Scholarship is NOT eligible for the Patriot Scholarship.

University of Arizona now offers ROTC room and board

Hello! I wonder if you could help me with this? My son did not get accepted to his first choice school and now needs to petition to another. UofA is one of those schools that was on his slate of 5. he has the 4 year NROTC Scholarship. I called the school last week and the gentleman said this was correct. I was so excited, I didn't do any of the things I usually do like get a name etc. I called back twice yesterday and spoke to two different people and they both said they would not cover. Is there a place where I can find this information? I see your tag says AF so perhaps this was only for Air Force? Thank you.
