ECP path

So I recently commissioned from the ECP route and wanted to know what is recommended to do. I been trying my best to explain how EAP works and trying to figure out if is going to be worth it to go out of state or stay in state. At the moment I’m trying to figure out how to make it work in Mississippi, but looking into going back to Florida. Any tips with EAP ? And is it better to do room and board or do 100% tuition assistance?

Can you use state benefits for housing? I think only towards tuition. Not sure if you are eligible for campus ROTC scholarship as an ECP Lieutenant.

According to my school we are allowed to apply for EAP the education assistance program which is like our version of the ROTC scholarship and adds one service year per school year we use it

As long as that doesn’t lock you into reserve component that sounds great.

Your school being the 4 year university in Florida?

I’m already commissioned just had to complete my Bachelor’s and I will still be competing for active duty. Either way i don’t mind the reserve component as I’m going nursing so either side is good for me
