SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION: The Four Year Scholarship Program is available to students who have graduated from high school before August 1st of the year they intend to start college. Scholarships for Navy, Navy Nurse Corps, and Marine Corps options are nationally awarded based on a competitive selection process that considers such factors as high school class standing, college entrance test scores, extracurricular activities, and leadership qualities. The scholarship covers tuition and fees, books, uniforms, and a $250 per month stipend your freshman year. The deadline for applying is January 31 of your high school senior year. For more information go to www.nrotc.navy.mil email the Recruiting Officer, or view the NROTC brief. SUMMER TRAINING PROGRAMS: All Scholarship students participate in three, four to six-week, training periods each summer in order to gain exposure to the operational Navy and Marine Corps. Training periods are divided into "third", "second", and "first" class cruises. Training is conducted at naval stations and at sea throughout the world. Due to the clinicals required by the nursing school during the summer before the senior year, nurse option students only participate in two summer training periods. All Marine Corps option students are required to spend their final summer training period completing OCS (Officer Candidate School) at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, VA. College Program students are only required to participate in one summer training period prior to their senior year. NAVAL ROTC COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Scholarship:

Academic majors are divided into 3 Tiers. Tier 1 is technical, Tier 2 is Science and Math and Tier 3 non-technical. As of Fall 2009, scholarships are tied to academic degrees. A student changing from a major in a higher tier to a major in a lower tier will risk losing their scholarship.
