<p>I am very intersted in doing NROTC at either villanova or fordham university but I had some questions about the entire process and how it works as i am unfarmiliar with it..... is the application process to NROTC scholarships the same as reg college admissions applications? is it hard to get these scholarships and what requirements need to be met to be granted one? Can u try the NROTC program at a school for the first year and if u dont like it can u get out of it and not have to pay for the schooling you just recieved free, and with that, is the "trial year" only available during one's freshman year with 4 yr scholarships? and is it easier to get 2 or 3yr scholarships than 4 yr scholoarships...also, what are the service commitments for each scholarship and can the navy keep you longer in active duty that what the commitments are? sorry about all the questions but i really wanna do this, i have a passion to serve my country in some form and the acadamies didnt seem like the best route for me. basically i want to know everything about it, if someone would be so kind as to take the time and reply. thanks!</p>
<p>Maybe try posting this in the "Service Academy Parents" forum of the US Academies (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=541)%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=541)</a>. Many of them have looked into the ROTC scholarships as a back up/alternate plan to the academies, so they'll be able to help you.</p>
<p>thanks a bunch</p>
