The NROTC Scholarship Program is open to young men and women of all races, creeds, and national origin who are United States citizens. Students are selected on their own merit to become officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Scholarship students are appointed Midshipmen, U.S. Navy Reserve. The Navy pays for tuition, fees, textbooks, uniforms, and a monthly subsistence allowance starting at $250 per month for first-year candidates up to $400 for fourth-year students during the academic year.

Scholarship students are normally selected through national competition during their senior year in high school. However, students who are already enrolled in college but not in the NROTC Program and non-scholarship NROTC midshipmen may compete for scholarships.

Although it is not a requirement, a student in the NROTC Scholarship Program is encouraged to pursue a major in engineering, mathematics, chemistry, or physics to meet the technological requirements of the Navy. Regardless of the major, every Navy scholarship student must complete one year of calculus and calculus-based physics.

Students must include certain Navy-specified courses in their program and complete a program of courses as prescribed by the Professor of Naval Science. Upon graduation, and successful completion of the naval science curriculum, the midshipman will receive a reserve commission as Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and serve on active duty for a minimum of four years.

NAVY-MARINE CORPS COLLEGE PROGRAM

The NROTC College Program is designed to train and educate well-qualified young men and women for commissioning. Selected students are appointed as midshipmen in the Naval Reserve prior to commencement of the advanced course in the junior year. The Navy pays for uniforms and naval science textbooks all during the four-year period, pays the midshipman a $350.00 and $400 respectively, per month subsistence allowance.
 
Each student is selected for enrollment in the program on the basis of past academic performance, potential, personal interviews, and a physical examination. A college program midshipman only acquires a military service obligation after entering the advanced courses at the beginning of the junior year.

Although there are no restrictions on the major that college program students may pursue, it is highly recommended that they pursue a course of study similar to that of scholarship students. Students must also include in their program certain Navy-specified courses and a program of courses in naval science. Students, upon graduation and successful completion of the naval science curriculum, receive a Reserve commission as an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve or a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and serve on active duty for a minimum of three years (3 and one half USMC).
