About NU NROTC : Program Overview |

Program Overview
The NROTC Program was established to educate and train qualified young men and women for service as commissioned
officers in the unrestricted line Naval Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve. As the largest single source of Navy
and Marine Corps officers, the NROTC Program plays an important role in preparing mature young men and women for
leadership and management positions in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps. The NROTC Unit at
Northwestern University is one of the six original units founded in 1926. We have a long history of graduating
commissioned officers with strong, well-rounded academic backgrounds from one of the nation's most prestigious
universities. These graduates have gone on to have exciting and rewarding careers in both the military and the
civilian sector.
Scholarship Options

and four-year scholarships
through a highly competitive national selection process and includes full tuition,

University. As a scholarship midshipmen you incur no obligation to the Navy until
your sophomore year. Upon
