Navy ROTC

Join the Navy while attending college through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship program.

The Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship program pays for school, provides leadership training, and offers money for up to five years of college. You can apply for the program while you’re still in high school or college. By joining the NROTC program, you get to enjoy being a typical college student while also participating in weekly drills, summer programs and community service projects that help prepare you for your future role as a leader and a Navy Officer.
