I was awarded a 3 year scholarship in the mid-80s and after graduation I became a lieutenant in the Army (with an 8 year commitment which I fulfulled in the Reserves). I don't know if the the program has changed much since then, but let me note that ROTC is more the "fun" stuff (at least in my experience) but the nitty-gritty of being in the service is a lot more demanding. You could also enter the service and get money for college thru the GI Bill. But PLEASE make sure you understand how the program works or they may try to mislead you and you could forfeit the money. I know this because it happened to my husband! God bless and good luck with your plans!

I did way better on the SAT than I had on the PSAT because of their books. Princeton Review’s materials ROCK. I did way better on the SAT than I had on the PSAT because of their books.
