Hi there,
I am a recipient of an NROTC Scholarship and I wasn't admitted to the host school so I am currently in the process of transferring the scholarship to the crosstown affiliate school. Because I am not actually changing units and the crosstown affiliate school offers the same Tier 1 degree (mechanical engineering) will I run into any problems transferring the scholarship? I sent in my Placement Change Request form last Thursday so it has been one full week. What obstacles could possibly be in the way of making the transfer successful on the board's end? Thank you all for any advice, I've made it this far and this is my dream and I hope the time is near to make it a reality and get excited/prepared for the years to come. Thanks!

Highly unlikely you will have any issues. The only thing that might crop up is that they are a little buried with other requests etc. Might be a little slower than usual but should be all good. Try and remember, they want you, very much. Enjoy it. They like to help out whenever they can. Be polite and appreciative in your correspondence and I'm sure things will go well. Best of luck.
 
Agree with @Walman888 , I can't imagine this would be an issue at all. Have you checked to be sure your request was received? Others have posted that their transfer was granted in about a day. Have you been in contact with the unit staff?
 
One exception.
I'll use an in state example.
Scholarship assigned to SDSU and you ask to transfer to UCSD, no problem.
Both in state, little difference in cost.
Assigned to SDSU and asking for USD, public to private? They have to review that.

DD emailed a scanned copy of her transfer request in the eve of 4/18 and 18 hours later (on 4/19) she got an email saying her transfer request was approved. I was really surprised it happened so quickly. Her request went from a public school (that was OOS for us) to a private school in a different state (about $20k/yr higher costs).

How did you send it to NTSC...email, fax or snailmail?
 
@Amazed
A little unfair example.
I will admit that I did not preface my statement with anyone asking to transfer their scholarship to an elite school will not be denied.
I would also include top 25 schools, but there are some that fill up and they are denied because they are already full.
Ironically, USC and ND are good examples.

I emailed it. I will call and check to see if they received the form.

In this case, SDSU-->USD, approval took 24 hours.
