Under the NPSR program interested high school students may apply for one-year university, or privately funded scholarships to support room, board and tuition while enrolled in a university NROTC preparatory program. University NROTC Prep programs are designed to improve midshipman candidates’ academic and life skills to prepare for the rigorous NROTC academic program. This expanded relationship between the Navy and the schools that host preparatory programs offers a performance-based pathway for midshipman candidates to earn NROTC scholarships.

The heart of the NPSR program is the host universities’ yearlong commitment to provide students, who show great potential via grades, character, and extra-curricular activities but might lack standardized test scores or advanced high school courses, the educational foundation necessary for success in the NROTC program and Navy. The program's objective is to expand NROTC scholarship opportunities by accessing this untapped talent and potential.

The Navy reserves a percentage of NROTC scholarships for midshipman candidates who complete university NROTC preparatory programs. The Navy helps to identify candidates and screens them to ensure they meet NROTC requirements and are eligible for NROTC and a commission before beginning the prep program. Most universities also require applicants to complete summer NROTC indoctrination training in Great Lakes, IL.
