TWE to ROTC

[cptenca]

For those of you who received TWEs: in two weeks or so some of you will be notified by email that you received a ROTC scholarship for which you didn’t apply. Most, if not all, will be 3 year scholarships. You will also start getting emails from schools across the country that want you to enroll.
Just wanted you to know there are options you may not have known about.

What kind of stats do you need to have in order to receive these emails?

 

[cptenca]

Cadet Command will be reviewing their yield just like USMA and then determine how many more scholarships they have. I don’t know the stats but i would think if you were 3q before your TWE you would have a chance.

Is this only for Army or do other branches also do this?

 

[cptenca]

I can’t speak to any of the other branches. Sorry

So are you saying that if you applied to USMA, but did not even apply for an ROTC scholarship, you may still be awarded on?

Correct. Happens every year. No promises as to how many though.

It happens but it's usually a small number. If ROTC has hit their numbers there may be none.
