Worked for me. Thanks to the planets aligning on the day I took the ACT, and the fact that the applicant pool was greatly diminished due to Vietnam, I was awarded a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship.
What a great deal! I received a great education at virtually no cost: tuition, books, lab fees, etc. were all covered, plus a $100/month stipend (I think it's 200/month now).
I had a 4 year commitment, but served a bit over 8. It was a great experience, and I don't regret it one bit. Whenever I have the opportunity, I extol the virtues of ROTC to kids. I even mention it to the 6th graders that I teach at my parish, just to plant the seed.
Nowadays, that scholarship would be valued at over $120,000, considering that Gonzaga University costs about $30K per year. Back then, it was $10K-12K (mid 70s), and there was no way I could have afforded that.
The Army also paid for my masters degree, via the GI Bill.
Got out of college, got married, and got my draft notice all in two weeks time. Had been in USMC reserve for extra $$. Went to Quantico, then to Pensacola for flight trng.
Went with UAL and flew for 30 yrs. Only regret was going with a company that had unbelievably bad CEO's after founder Patterson died. Otherwise wouldn't change a thing. {replying to you because noticed you went to Gonzaga. I went to Gonzaga H.S.
