Aim for the next board cutoff that you can meet with a complete file, not the final deadline. A file that misses a board's cutoff waits for the next board. After the final cutoff, you cannot apply in this cycle.
Not for a high-school scholarship in this cycle: after the final cutoff, you cannot apply. You can still join ROTC in college without a high-school scholarship. Each service also offers scholarships to cadets who are already in college. Contact the ROTC unit at your college for details.
