Ok, So I have been lurking here for months gaining info through out the process. Thank you for that! My DS was awarded a 3 year scholarship today to the Citadel. It says pending acceptance. Here is the problem/ question. He applied early descision and was accepted to VMI. We have already committed and signed up for the STP. He never applied to the Citadel!!! Is it still a possibility to transfer this scholarship? Thank you in advance, and congrats to all winners!!!!
This is a hazard of early decision/early acceptance. Several years ago my son was in a similar situation though the schools were private with smaller battalions. He applied for the AROTC scholarship late and received an offer from the last board. I got the impression from the PMS that the fate of his (eventually successful) transfer request hinged on what other scholarship winners who had also been admitted to service academies would do.
It may be helpful to contact the recruiting officer at VMI to describe your son's dilemma. Who knows - maybe someone who applied ED to the Citadel was awarded a scholarship to VMI.
