<p>I have some knowledge of A/N ROTC; I have applied for both branches. To be honest, you’re well in the range to get a scholarship assigned. Keep in mind that the MINIMUM ACT score to qualify is a 17… Your score correlation is well above that. In addition, you’re looking to go to a state school, which the scholarship boards love (they want CHEAP). On top of that, Purdue is the best public engineering school in the country. Navy wants engineers+cheap as possible tuition pretty much, you’ll be fine. The most important thing is to rank Purdue as your top choice and…</p>

<p>APPLY AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. The scholarship committees meet typically three times (they’re called boards). The sooner you have your application completed, the earlier your board will be. Because the process is rolling, they have more money to give during the earlier boards.</p>

<p>In short, I think you’ll be fine. Just get that application in.</p>
