How long is the wait to hear back from Cadet Command that your application has been approved?

I'm submitting my complete packet for the Green to Gold Hip Pocket Scholarship into the online portal at the end of the week. Since it is a division award and Cadet Command are pretty much doing a final review, assuming that no waivers are required, how long should it take to hear back?

I only have read on here about Green to Gold, though I was Army ROTC at a unit that no longer exists, we trained a good deal with the West Point cadets, before I went USAF OTS instead, though I was utterly clueless as to what I was doing, or how to do it the right way, so it all went totally wrong, ultimately, which is why I'm total perm disabled ultimately now. That being said, purely for sake of conversation, and out of interest in career/educ topics, I'd be interested to know what major or majors you've looked at thus far...also, have you done your assocs yet, and, if so, in what...then, too, if you'd care to go into it, knowing your GPAs might help suggest various possibilities I know or, whether for now or later, that knowing about might be stuff you might eventually find useful, I'd be esp interested in knowing if you want a STEM field or not, I just like kibitzing about such aspects...further, have you looked at other svc programs at all, incl other svc ROTCs, or possibly doing the Bach on your own, then trying for an OCS...there are other things I could suggest and/or ask about, however, that was what initially crossed my mind to ask about, just, as I'd said, out of interest in such topics, honest, no rush, if you'd care to chat, as I'd said, I'd be most eager to hear more, whenever convenient....

And I'll look up Hip Pocket, however, if you could elaborate on that, it'd be a help, obviously....

You doubtless already know of them and CLEP, as I'd said, if you haven't gotten your mil transcript from them yet, by all means get it, as well as use both the DANTES and CLEP for testing out of coursework, also, look up Amer Council on Educ (ACE), they do mil transcripts also....

Are you asking how long the process can take for them to approve or deny your scholarship? Generally those boards are around 90 days but It should have a projected deadline on it. I got an ROTC scholarship out of HS and I know for us there were rounds. I didn't get a scholarship in the first round...so those 90 days just sent me a sad letter. The next round I did so yeah! four year full ride!
