Should i apply for financial aid if i will be attending college on the NROTC program?

<p>Ok, I will be attending college through NROTC and i was wondering if i should apoply for financial aid and scholarships even if i will be attending college through NROTC? Everything will be paid for by them (NROTC). *NROTC is Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps</p>

<p>NROTC only pays tuition, fees, $375 per semester for books, and a small monthly stipend. Room and Board are not paid for by NROTC. </p>

<p>At some schools if you don’t apply for FA your Freshman year you cannot apply Sophomore - Senior year. You need that option in case you drop NROTC. Many do. At a unit I am very familiar with 22 midshipmen started 4 years ago. 4 will graduate in May. Many reasons - decided Navy was not for them, grades issues, fitness issues, drugs, discipline, etc.</p>

<p>Apply for FA.</p>
