DS is a MSV and usually receives his in Dec. That's when he has received it for all 4 years. IDK if it will be different this year.
It could take up to 45 days after start of 1st semester.Can anyone tell me when the room and board part of the scholarship actually pay. We are in Florida and have Pre-paid tuition for the first 2 years, so my son opted to have the room and board scholarship. He has already started to receive his stipend and book allowance, but the 5K For room and board still has not dropped. My husband and I paid out of pocked to cover his dorm and meal plan for the semester, so we are anxiously awaiting his award to drop- has anyone else had this issue?? Pam
Do ROTC scholarships include room and board?
If a scholarship recipient borrows to cover room & board after graduation/commissioning are those loans eligible for forgiveness?
All I see related to "military student loan" forgiveness online refers to enlisted personnel.
You'll need to call the college to find out. There are some schools that only offer the free room and board to scholarship winners and others are more generous and offer it to those whom are officially enrolled in ROTC classes, but are not yet contracted.My DD has received a 4yr ROTC scholarship, which is fantastic. Her school offers R and B to ROTC students..........However, she is waiting to be cleared medically.........If she is unable to, she is still planning on enrolling at the school and joining ROTC, with the hope of reapplying for a scholarship and getting cleared for the next year. If she enrolls as a student and joins ROTC, do schools still give those students free R and B, or do you have to be contracted? Obviously, until she clears DODMERB, she can't contract or receive the scholarship. Anyone have experience with that? There is still a long way to go.
Does anyone know if Washington State University or Grand Canyon University offers room and board as well?
