[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scholarship pay 85k x 4 ? What is the catch?[/quote]

The scholarship pays tuition and fees, so it’s not $85k.

At some schools, room and board is covered by the university. Not sure how common that is, but it was not a policy for any of my kids (3 different universities)

As for payback, it can be Active Duty or Reserves. It depends on the needs of each service, students do not always get their preference.[/quote]

Wash. U. and some other St. Louis-area schools offer at least some ROTC scholarship holders room and board:

I don’t understand from the summary whether Wash. U. offers room and board for up to 31 students in every class or 31 students universitywide. [/quote]

My DD spoke with the commander at WASHU ROTC, but ultimately chose another school.  They do pay for room and board in addition to full tuition.  They have a small battalion, sounds like all the students on scholarship there gets the free room and board.  Tulane, Lehigh, URochester, and a few other schools also offer room and board in addtion to full tuition.  Vanderbilt/Carnegie Mellon will pay for a portion of your room and board.  [/quote]
