Wow, he looks like a perfect fit with those numbers. I know when my son applied the recruiter, was very aggressive with getting him presented and making sure all of the paperwork etc was in order. That said, my son has said that he has seen many students in his battalion that didn't start out with the scholarship get it. I hope he doesn't give up. My son said many of those on that path surely deserve to get the scholarship!

I understand your heartbreak.  Our son, too, had high academics, tons of community service and didn't receive a scholarship. However, he re-applied and was awarded one in the 2nd semester of his first year of college.  He did college program his 1st semester.   You may never learn the reason for the decision, but encourage him to re-apply.  It truly is all about stats, ranking, and when his application is submitted, etc.    

Hello!  I am just reading this now.  We just found out yesterday that our daughter also was not selected for the NROTC scholarship :(  It was hard news to swallow.  I am so glad I found this thread though and am hopeful that she will choose the college option and possibly be awarded the scholarship in the second year.  We have a son who is enlisted in the Air Force and know that things do not always run smoothly or easily when it comes to the military, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  Things always work out in the end and if it means she has to work a little bit harder for this, I am ok with that.
