ROTC Scholarship Help with Admisison?

Applying to College
1

<p>I recently received a Navy ROTC Scholarship, which is good at all of the schools I applied to. It pays full tuition, fees, and books, as well as a monthly paycheck. </p>

<p>I have notified the colleges I applied to of my acceptance for this scholarship. Will it help with admission if the college knows I have lots of money to attend?</p>

<p>List of eligible schools for the NROTC Scholarship that I applied to:
UC Davis
UC San Diego
Penn State
Embry-Ridlde Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach</p>

<p>any and all feedback is appreciated.</p>

<p>As an indicator of your academic qualifications, and character qualities, it will certainly help. The aid would be attractive to the colleges if you are a stellar student, and they happen to need more “full freight” paying students.</p>

<p>(Remember room and board is not covered, and will be around $10K a year.)</p>

<p>Thank you for the feedback. I am waiting/working on other scholarships to come up with the 10k/year for room and board. I know some colleges wave this for ROTC scholarship recipients, but it entirely depends on the school, and I do not believe UCD or UCSD do</p>

<p>I don’t think public universities get involved with who can pay and who can’t. They are not “in business” the way private colleges are.</p>

<p>I think pretty much everyone who applies, meets the minimum requirements, passes the interview, and passes the PT test gets a scholarship right.</p>

<p>From a financial aid perspective, they will definitely take anyone who is willing to pay in full tuition (via the US Government), so they will like that.</p>

<p>Well, I’m not sure if it was a deciding factor or not, but I got a NROTC scholarship and I am four for four so far with college admissions. I got into Michigan, Florida, Penn State and Virginia Tech so far. I had pretty good stats but did not compare to many on this forum,</p>

<p>Well, you obviously are an out of state student for at least 3 of those schools. I know florida is REALLY hard to get into if you are out of state. congratz on your scholarship and acceptance btw</p>

<p>I contacted UC Davis and asked them if the scholarship helped with admission. They told me it did not help, but the NROTC ppl i contacted begged to differ. They said colleges cant officially tell you that it helps with admission, but it really does. I hope this is true</p>
