NROTC Scholarship
Join the Navy while attending college through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship program. The purpose of the Navy ROTC Program is to educate and train qualified young men and women for service as commissioned officers in the Navy's unrestricted line, the Navy Nurse Corps and the Marine Corps. As the largest single source of Navy and Marine Corps officers, the Navy ROTC Scholarship Program plays an important role in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and management positions in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps. It pays for school, provides leadership training and offers money for up to five years of college. You can apply for the program while you’re still in high school or college.
