The interview preparation services provided by ROTC Scholarship Consulting can make the difference in winning a scholarship. LTC Kirkland in this short episode talks about the importance of the interview and provides an overview of these services.
High school students and their parents often believe that if they don't start an ROTC application by October that the chances of a scholarship are low. However, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Most ROTC scholarships are awarded after the first of the year and applying later in November and December can actually be an advantage! In this episode, LTC Kirkland explains why.
In this podcast episode, LTC Kirkland gives tips and advice on why ROTC program visits are important before a candidate's ROTC scholarship interview. He also gives advice on how to prepare and put your best foot forward during these visits.

12020-2021 was not a good year for Air Force ROTC--either with their scholarship process or their management of AS200 (second year) cadets. This episode looks at what happened and the impact it had on both these groups and the subsequent erosion of confidence in Air Force ROTC processes.

Many people know what the words Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor and Integrity mean. But how often do you see someone actually live up to them? Military officers must embody these values in order to succeed and be the best leaders for their subordinates.
Those who read your essays or interview you for an Academy appointment or ROTC scholarship have this values mindset. Understanding the military officer ethos and showing how you embody these characteristics is the cornerstone of successfully preparing for and succeeding in your application essays and interviews.
In this episode, we will tackle two topics:
1. The likelihood of having a Special Operations assignment after ROTC and the whether such a goal should be mentioned in your ROTC interview.
2. ROTC and participation in Intercollegiate athletics. Whether this is an obtainable objective or not.
