Does anyone know what effect an ROTC scholarship has on financial aid. The schools I am looking at are mostly in the Northeast and all have a "sticker price" of between $50,000 and $60,000 total for tuition, room and board and fees. Using the "net price" calculator provided by the schools, however, it seems that someone with my academic record and family income would have an actual cost of about $20,000, ie: I would be getting $30,000 in grants and other forms of non-loan aid.
So here is the million dollar question - If I receive a $15,000 AFROTC scholarship, or other partial scholarship, does that reduce the $20,000 I am required to pay or will the school then say I am no longer eligible for some of the grants they would have otherwize provided to me.
If the latter is the case, it seems that the ROTC scholarship is not really all that worthwhile because at the end of the day the amount I will need to pay will be the same with or without the scholarship.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
