Scholarship Options
NROTC Scholarship Options are available for graduating high school students (four-year scholarships) with the application process beginning the summer before your senior year, and
those currently enrolled in college (two- or three-year scholarships). Each scholarship provides full tuition and educational fees or room and board (up
to $11,500 per year), books, stipends, uniforms, and summer training cruises. See
links for the application process and additional information.
NROTC Preparatory Scholarships allow interested high school students, who show great potential via grades, character,
and extra-curricular activities but might lack standardized test scores or advanced
high school courses, to apply for one-year university, or privately funded scholarships.
NPP is designed to provide students the educational foundation necessary for success
in the NROTC program and Navy. Following completion of the preparatory year, you may
be eligible for a follow-on NROTC four-year scholarship. Allen University, Benedict
College and Midlands Technical College are participating NPP institutions with the
Gamecock Battalion. See the link for specific institution requirements and deadlines.
NROTC Navy Nurse Program Option offers an opportunity for students interested in becoming nurses in the U.S. Navy
to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing while earning a commission as an ensign. Students
enrolled in the NROTC program as a nursing student are referred to as midshipmen and
participate in weekly physical fitness training, specific naval science classes, and
a Navy lab period to exercise leadership and learn Navy customs, courtesies and basic
military knowledge.
