Hi, my daughter in on a NROTC scholarship (pre-med) at Fordham U. (which she attends, but really doesnt care for the college). After receiving the scholarship and beginning her college career, she found out about a Nursing program at Malloy, but figured it was to late can't transfer scholarships and stuck with Fordham.

Well, it's something she's thought about quite often and would like to see if there is a way to transfer her scholarship at Fordham to Malloy. Has anyone's child gone thru this and is it possible? Who would she speak to? Also, her first choice for a school now has an ROTC program (Baylor) which she was accepted to when a senior (did not have ROTC sholarships at that time), so she thought maybe if Malloy didnt work out she could transfer the scholarship to Baylor.

I would appreciate any suggestions on what to advise her as to her next step. 

She has began to question a B.S. (pre med) after graduation and how it would be useful to her with her Navy career especially if she can't make it into medical school. She would like to come out with a specific training after the four years that would be valuable for the Navy. Medicine is her interest so she wants to stay in medicine and that is why she is considering nursing. She plans to stay in the Navy-lifer-loves the Navy.

Thank you so much for your response, I will pass this on to her.
just be very careful
my sister in law had a four year scholarship and lost all of it just for transfering to another program
the family and I was very sick about losing the scholarship.
so be very careful
Oh my that's not good. I will warn her.
I know this is an old discussion. Just wondering if she was able to transfer? The thing that should work in her favor is that the NROTC unit that she is in is the same for Molloy and Maritime so she would still be in the same unit just a different school.
Hi, she decided to stay with Fordham and has actually decided to get an additional bachelors degree (Theology). Thank you for the interest.
Its nice that she made a decision. Is she a freshman? She should be in my son's unit...
She is currently a sophmore but has been taking theology classes along with her pre-med and Navy classes all along and decdided since she had already taken some and didnt need that many more for her second bachelors (plus she loves the classes) to go ahead and try.
