I don't think this is currently an option.  I know cadets who have been doing ROTC without scholarship for the last two years (top grades, etc at big programs) who have inquired extensively about scholarship money to no avail.

Also, cadets have been told that the Army only wants to commission 1500 second lieutenants going forward which is a pretty big decrease and programs will be starting to cut cadets in the later years of the program. The army currently has a significant glut of officers. [/quote]

Not sure if additive to this conversation, but confirming this is accurate. There were cadets in my program that went through all 4 years with no scholarship because they wanted it badly enough but the money wasn't there for them.

The second part is also accurate, happened my senior year in college. My branch was actively culling prospective commissions, as to the point above, maybe that's why there weren't giving money. At the time they were offering to "cross train" (i.e., go through basic/field/summer training) to commission into a different branch.[/quote]
