Hello ,

Thank you for allowing us to share information on our "Build a Better Future" scholarship program! We are offering another five $10,000 scholarships again this year and we want to make sure your students know about it.

This is a great opportunity since in recent years it has been very much underutilized. We were getting hundreds of submissions a few years ago, last year we had fewer than 50, that's a great opportunity for your students!

Click here for the details and anything else you may need to know to tell your students about our scholarship. If you can, it would be great to put this link on your website somewhere prominent and/or easy to access for both seniors and for their parents so they can find the scholarship information before the deadlines. Some schools have put the link in a dropdown from the main menu or homepage and that seems to work best.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Allie

The Navy ROTC Scholarship with Marine Option program provides students $180,000 in scholarship money while earning commission as an officer upon graduation. Other benefits include full tuition, books, and academic related expenses at over 150 top colleges and universities. Students receive a monthly spending allowance and guaranteed employment for at least four years. Academically, applicants must have a minimum score on one of the below standardized tests. However, there is no minimum grade point average requirement.

• ACT - 22 • SAT - 1000 • Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Test - 74

Physically, applicants must achieve a 175 on the Marine Corps physical fitness test, which consists of a three-mile run, crunches and pull ups. They must also be a United States citizen, between the ages of 17 and 23, and on track to graduate high school. The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps is a multi-year program that runs concurrently with a student’s normal college or university educational course of study. In addition to a normal academic workload leading to a Bachelor’s degree, NROTC students attend classes in Naval Science, participate in unit drill and physical training, and other activities. Students are also taught the leadership principles and high ideals of a military officer. During the summer break between school years, NROTC students participate in a variety of training courses. These periods of instruction help students understand different career options, as well as familiarize them with a military life. Upon graduation students are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps.
