NROTC San Diego’s Preparatory Program Scholarship

Description

The NROTC San Diego’s Preparatory Program Scholarship is open to students who hold or expect a high school diploma or equivalent by August 1 and who will be at least 17 years of age by September 1. This program is designed to attract students who are committed to S.T.E.M. fields of study but may have been disadvantaged from achieving high standardized achievement test scores, or exposure to extracurricular activities, due to socioeconomic status. This scholarship opportunity is a five-year education pathway to a commission as a Naval Officer and is designed to improve students’ academic and life skills to the point they are prepared to compete in the rigorous academic challenges associated with the NROTC program. The program consists of a “preparatory year” where a student participates at the University of San Diego’s scholastic preparatory program on campus. The preparatory year tuition, fees, and housing is entirely funded by the university. Upon successful completion of the university’s preparatory year, the student is awarded a four-year NROTC National Scholarship which provides full tuition and fee coverage, as well as other benefits.
