<p>Question for the group on 4-year scholarship. My son sent me the link to the status page that showed he was awarded a 4-year scholarship. It said paperwork would follow. </p>
<p>My question. What exactly does the scholarship cover. Tuition and fees are listed on the site. Does that mean either in-state or out-of-state tuition or will they only cover in-state. Also, no mention of housing, so I assume the student pays their own way on that front?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Tuition, books, uniforms/equipment. The latter items are subtracted from the Mid’s pay, I believe. No room and board on an ROTC.</p>
<p>Thanks Whistle Pig – full tuition regardless of it being out-of-state? That is another $15K per year</p>
<p>Yes. My understanding … which is fast fading as my mid ultimately declined this wonderful scholarship, choosing once he was chosen, to attend USNA … is that they really work at plugging their students into the lower cost, in state publics, for obvious financial reasons. And while not exclusively for this reason… billets come into play … is one of the purposes for identifying where your 1,2,3 choices may be. </p>
<p>So my short, not fully informed answer is yes, even for out of state tuition, assuming that’s your future Mid’s #1 choice. And even if it’s otherwise, it does not exclude the possibility of changing the U venue.</p>
<p>ironmaiden,
my d’s intended course of study was political science and she received a four-year NROTC scholarship to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>usna09mom, was that this year for the class of 2012?</p>
<p>she declined the NROTC scholarship after receiving an appointment to USNA for the c/o '09, hence my screen name. :)</p>
<p>I just got a 4 year Navy option scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin. Does anyone know if the scholarship will pay for the summer semester?</p>
<p>Some schools will pick up some or all of housing if you are coming with ROTC scholarship. You need to check each school.</p>
<p>I declined my full Marine-Option NROTC scholorship last month after I recieved my appointment to the Academy. I am happy I applied though, because it would be an amazing back-up plan. I really like what I saw and heard from the program…</p>
<p>I just received my 4 yr NROTC scholarship to Purdue University, but I have already punched my ticket to USAFA and have no intentions on changing…</p>
<p>I am not sure I am going to turn it down right away, possibly wait until the end of next month? Just precautionary in case something happens before I arrive at the Springs… Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I have found the NROTC process a little odd at least in my particular case. I received my appointment to the Naval Academy yesterday, but my NROTC scholarship application stills show no decision has been made. Of course, I am not going to take it if it is offered, but I would have thought my NROTC application would have been approved a long time ago. Maybe they communicate with the Academy and if they are told a particular applicant is likely to receive an appointment they defer offering until they find out, although some here received both. Seems odd to me.</p>
<p>My ROTC package has been sitting in limbo since the end of October…really hoping to hear something soon…</p>
<p>I’ve been waiting since September!</p>
<p>I just received word about my selection for a 4 yr NROTC scholarship! The next board dates are: Feb 25-29, Mar 10-14 and 24-28, April 7-11 and 21-25. Results are posted 1-2 weeks after the board adjourns. Check your status on the NROTC site for the words: Select, No Select, or No Decision. If “No Decision”, it means that the applicant will move forward to the next board meeting. Good luck to those who are waiting to hear. I am still looking for that large envelope to come my way. . .</p>
<p>My daughter received appointment to USNA in November. Her NROTC site still says “no decision.” She is still waiting to hear from 7 schools (April)before making decision although every day that goes by brings her closer to signing with Navy (swimming).</p>
<p>wow ww2buff! that is so awesome! thanks for the schedule of future selection board meetings. i asked my recruiter and he never gave that to me. obviously you have an awesome recruiter! :)</p>
<p>by the way, what was the date of the selection board that just passed?</p>
<p>DSL 1990, I am not sure when they last met.</p>
<p>the board website says there is still no decision (since January) on my son’s package and the deadline to lock in housing at any of the 3 schools he has been accepted is 15 days away (May 1) and I am getting VERY anxious about all this. Is there some way of learning if his package has even been reviewed yet?</p>
<p>How do they notify him? Will he get something in the mail before he sees an update on the website?</p>
<p>All of the packages have been reviewed at least once by now. I would contact the recruiter he worked with. An alternative would be to contact the NROTC unit at his first choice school and see if they have any info.</p>
<p>If you have not heard by now the chances are not good unless there was a communication snafu. An alternative would to enroll at his #1 choice and enroll in NROTC as a College Programmer. He could then compete for the 3 year scholarship. </p>
<p>My son’s notification last year was via the web site. He got a letter about 10 days later. Others have gotten a call from unit CO of the school to which the scholarship was awarded. Good luck!</p>
