OK I've wanted to be nothing but a fighter pilot since grade school. I've busted my ass through school all these years, read up everything I cud on aviation, then slammed into a brick wall. My parents aren't citizens, and I can't change my status until DECEMBER of my freshman year. That shot USNA/4 yr ROTC out of the water.
I got into Cornell University, and I e-mailed the detachment commander there asking if I could apply when I got there, even though I couldn't even apply to be a citizen for about 4 months after getting there. He said he thinks there's no problem.
So I was wondering if other people cud ask around, if ROTC cadets cud ask their det commanders, to find out if somebody like me is eligible for at least a 3 yr. scholarship. It would really be much appreciated.
I really wud like to go to this school(my 2nd choice after USNA) but my parents REALLY cannot afford to pay me, and I don't want to take loans since I WILL join up regardless of whether or not I get ROTC. Unfortunately, then I will become a naval officer who has 40K in loans to repay, and that is NOT something I want in the back of my mind while blasting off of a carrier. Thanks in advance people.
