Scholarship types
NROTC NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP
Selected applicants for the Navy ROTC National Scholarship are awarded scholarships through a highly competitive national selection process, and receive full tuition, books stipend, educational fees and other financial benefits at many of the country's leading colleges and universities. Upon graduation, midshipmen are commissioned as officers in the unrestricted line Naval Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve.
The Navy ROTC Scholarship Program is available to qualified students who graduate from high school before August 1 of the year they intend to start college.
Students selected for the Navy ROTC Scholarship Program make their own arrangements for college enrollment and room and board, and take the normal course load required by the college or university for degree completion. Additionally, scholarship midshipmen are required to follow specific academic guidelines.
TWO AND THREE-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS
2 year and 3 year NROTC scholarships are awarded competitively by a national scholarship selection board each summer. Students do not need to be currently participating in the NROTC program in order to apply for 2 and 3 year scholarships; however, students participating in the program without a scholarship have a better chance of receiving a scholarship.
Same basic requirements as the National scholarship with the following additional requirements;
- Must have at least 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours) but no more than 120 semester hours (180 quarter hours).
- Must have a minimum college GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale).
- Must be admitted to or in process of gaining admittance to school affiliated with the Navy ROTC Unit from which they are being nominated.
