Re: Army ROTC scholarship

Long time since I heard about a full ROTC scholarship.

Your family must be very proud (and financially relieved).

The scholarships are tough to get. Roughly 10,000 kids apply and they award 3000. But of those only 25% are 4-year scholarships. The rest are 3-year.

He’s saving us a boat-load of money. My brother and I both had 4-year ROTC scholarships back in the late 80s, early 90s. We were in college at the same time and still kid my dad 30 years later about saving him 200 grand.

I have 2 more kids to go too, so hopefully they earn scholarships. My junior wants and Air Force scholarship but they’re the toughest to get. They only give out 500 for the entire country. We’ll see. He’s pretty smart with a good shot at going to MIT.

My third is only 12, so we have some time with him…
