How Does NROTC Work? What Does The Program Entail?

As the largest single source of Navy and Marine Corps Officers, the Navy ROTC scholarship program is designed to develop you into a strong leader, capable of success in multiple management positions.

When entering the Navy ROTC program, you can choose from one of three career tracks:

  • Navy Option: Leads to post-graduate commissioning as a US Navy Ensign in one of the Navy’s warfare communities, i.e. surface, submarine, aviation, special warfare, and more.

  • Nurse Option: Leads to post-graduate commissioning in the US Navy as an Ensign in the Navy Nursing Corps, part of the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine.

  • Marine Corps Option: Leads to post-graduate commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the US Marine Corps.

  • Full-time employment

  • Competitive entry-level salary

  • Immediate high-level leadership and managerial opportunities
