About Navy ROTC National Scholarship (NROTC)
NROTC is an officer-training scholarship that funds college while developing naval leadership.
Applications are aimed at high-school graduates and students who meet academic, medical, physical, and citizenship standards, with separate Navy, Marine Option, and Navy Nurse pathways. Candidates must attend a participating NROTC university and pass screening; authorized majors vary by option. The program publishes annual timelines, so do not reuse a prior cohort’s deadline.
Check the campus NROTC unit before applying: ask which Navy/Marine Corps options and majors it supports. Complete the national application when the portal opens, arrange medical and physical screening, recommendations, and interviews, and separately secure college admission. Read the service commitment, assignment, and loss-of-eligibility rules before accepting.
