My son was just notified that he won a 4-year, Type 7 Air Force ROTC Scholarship. He has until Jan 6, 2012 to accept or decline. He is competing for Marine Option NROTC Scholarship also. He really wants the Marine Corps. The Marine selection board does not meet until Feb 2.

Does anyone know if he loses the Marine ROTC consideration once he accepts the AFROTC offer? Or Can he accept the AFROTC offer and then “let it go” IF he is awarded the Marine scholarship 4-5 weeks down the road?
