Scholarships

The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps

It’s a distinguished honor with a powerfully simple purpose: to find exceptional students like you, provide financing and opportunity for an outstanding college experience, and help you achieve your true potential with a career that would make any other day job jealous.

LIFE AS AN NROTC STUDENT

Too many good college experiences are spoiled by massive student debt or the need to take a job on the side. But when it comes to money matters, students in the NROTC program can focus on their college experience. NROTC students find time to pursue hobbies, hang out with friends, join student groups and intramural teams, and of course, focus on their academic performance. The NROTC program gives them the flexibility to truly turn their education into the opportunity of a lifetime. Navy Life NROTC students also gain valuable skills, learning leadership experience from a Navy perspective. This includes a Naval Science course each semester, participating in drills every Tuesday and Thursday, and wearing your Navy uniform (provided at no cost to you) at least twice a week. You’ll also participate in a wide range of community service projects. These activities will prepare you for your upcoming career as a respected Navy Officer.

Another highlight for NROTC students is Summer Cruise Training, where you’ll spend a portion of your summers alongside Navy Officers in the fleet, in a variety of capacities, including: • Nuclear Power – assigned to nuclear submarine or nuclear surface vessels

• Afloat Aviation – assigned to train aboard a carrier, including flight time if feasible

• Ashore Aviation – assigned to train with a Navy aviation squadron, including flight time if feasible

• Foreign Exchange – assigned to train with navies of other countries

Your Summer Cruise Training will not only give you on-the-job experience as a Navy Officer, but it will also help you choose which area of emphasis you want to pursue.
