<p>I am applying to USNA, but I understand it's a reach for everyone. As for NROTC, can you get a scholarship to more if not all of your "top 5" choices or do they pick one for you. Let's they they pick my number one choice, but after more thinking I want to go to my number four choice, is that possible? Also I am from Indiana (big IU fan) but I have to apply to Purdue and make it at least in my top three (in state nrotc), what are my chances my only option is to attend Purdue? there are very many "safety" schools I can apply to so only being accepted to Purdue is not my concern, it's only getting the scholarship there. </p>

<p>You are offered it at one school. From the NROTC website:

</p>

<p>So, if you’re given it to school x but really want it at school y, you can try and get it changed, but it just depends. </p>

<p>Also, the in-state school doesn’t have to be from your state, it just has to be a public school:</p>

<p>First… there are scholarship quotas for each NROTC college. If you are awarded a scholarship and your number one choice has any openings left, then you will go to your first choice. This is done on a first come, first served type basis. So… APPLY EARLY and take your ACT and SAT tests early! Also, if you prefer to not go to Purdue, then make it your third choice. The following is a very good guide to applying for the NROTC scholarship:

<p>Second… Actually, the Navy will only allow the state school to be out of your state under specific circumstances. For example, Kentucky has no NROTC schools. In such case, the student would need to determine if any other state offers “in state” tuition for students from Kentucky. See this from the NROTC application form:</p>

<p>“one of your first three choices must be a public state college/university where you are able to qualify for and obtain “in-state” tuition. If you cannot obtain “in-state” tuition at any public school with an NROTC unit, you will be required to explain why.”</p>

<p>Frankly, I do not know how to go about determining where a student from Kentucky could get the relevant information. Presumably the Navy does know, I would think. So, again, if you do not want to go to Purdue, then explore whether Ohio State, or Miami of Ohio, or Michigan, for example, give “in state” tuition to Indiana residents. (My bet is that they do not… but you never know).</p>
