Midshipmen Battalion
The Midshipmen Battalion is the organization that we use to train our future Navy and Marine officers. It is composed of two companies, November Company (Navy) and Mike Company (Marine). Each company has four platoons, composed of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, 5th year cadets and MECEP members.

Defining the difference between Scholarship Students, College Program Students, and Naval Science Students:
Defining the difference between Scholarship Students, College Program Students, and Naval Science Students:
A Scholarship Student is an individual who has received a national 4 year NROTC scholarship and will sign a contract to commission as a Naval Officer upon graduation.
A College Program Student is an individual who is actively pursuing an NROTC Contract.
A Naval Science Student is an individual who has no desire to receive or pursue an NROTC contract.
We have 2 or 3 year scholarships available and encourage you to set your sights on them early. Competitive applications for these opportunities include completion of Calculus and a high GPA. If you were not selected for a 4-year scholarship out of high school, but strongly desire to attend Texas A&M, be a member of the Corps of Cadets, and eventually an officer, there are still many opportunities to receive a scholarship!
There is more information on NROTC scholarships at FAQ – Texas A&M Naval ROTC (tamu.edu)
