necessary to respond to the results of that review. The<br />

following system, with minor modifications, has been used in<br />

NROTC selection process, since.<br />

Current Selection Evaluation System<br />

The current NROTC Scholarship selection board evaluation system<br />

uses the Quality Index as a Base Score for each applicant. The<br />

Quality Index accounts for approximately 66 percent of the<br />

total applicant selection score. The selection board provides<br />

the remaining 34 percent.<br />

The selection board is provided with an evaluation score sheet<br />

that defines specific areas for selection board scoring<br />

consideration. The score sheet is divided into three broad<br />

areas of evaluation: scholarship, military bearing, and<br />

personal attributes. Contained within each area are specific<br />

scoring categories with each category assigned a maximum point<br />

value. Approximately 40 percent of the scoring categories<br />

include a recommended selection board score previously<br />

calculated by computer using established algorithms and raw<br />

data derived through the optical scan process (dot counting).<br />

Selection board members evaluate the application and assign<br />

points for each category. They may adjust the computerrecommended<br />

scores, if desired. The number of points assigned<br />

by the selection board member, including those recommended by<br />

computer, is then added to the Quality Index to determine the<br />

applicant's final standing in the rank ordered list of all<br />

applicants.<br />

The categories used by the selection board to evaluate a<br />

scholarship applicant are:<br />
