STUDENTS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE NROTC UNIT WHO HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED FOR THE NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR THE COLLEGE PROGRAM.

Each year students who were not awarded a National NROTC Scholarship are provided the opportunity to apply for the NROTC College Program. A College Program Midshipman does not receive scholarship benefits or attend summer training, but is otherwise treated and held to the same standards of conduct and participation of a scholarship student. The goal of the College Program is to help qualified Midshipmen earn a 3, 2, or 1-year Scholarship, or Advanced Standing.
