<p>The decision to your college might have to be made by then…in our kiddo’s case, when she got her MCROTC postcard…it says that if she accepts an Appointment, she holds the scholarship until the day she enters the Academy. And then, even if she is only there 1 hour, she forfeits the scholarship on the spot.</p>
<p>So the issue is more the college choice…where you would consider holding a spot open by paying some upfront acceptance fee, rather than the ROTC issue, which comes later for those with Academy appointments.</p>
