[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS just accepted his admission offer for the Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech this evening, so my knowledge is very fresh!  I have learned a tremendous amount in the last year (note that DS is a stronger student - 4.0 weighted, and has been is JROTC for the last 4 years).

The previous poster is right on the money - I have been surprised how competitive it is to get a 4 year ROTC scholarship).  DS will be getting a grand total of $1K a year to be in the Corps.  I don’t think you should assume at all that he will get his college paid for by ROTC starting his freshman year.

That being said, it does seem like getting a scholarship starting your junior year is much more doable (but far from a sure thing).  I can’t comment on other places, though, but this is my sense.[/quote]

Congrats! My husband did the Corps program at VT and is on year 18 active duty Army. He has very very close friends from his time in the program that we still stay in touch with today. [/quote]
