I hope it’s ok to discuss this here…it’s kind of related.

Do you think a student who was selected for Summer Seminar and receives a Congressional nomination is a shoo-in for getting an AFROTC scholarship?

I heard once that ROTC scholarships aren’t really that hard that to get, and I wondered if that’s true. The only thing that really isn’t in my ds’s favor is that he is not pursuing a technical degree. He wants to major in International Studies.

And another question about AFROTC scholarships. Ds has a lot of dual-credit college hours. He has been taking dual credit courses since he was a freshman in high school. (He is homeschooled.) If he gets an AFROTC scholarship, would he be allowed to work on a Bachelor’s and a Master’s concurrently, if he can finish both in 4 years?
