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
The Navy NROTC Scholarship Program awards two-
and four-year scholarships
through a highly competitive national selection process and includes full tuition,
books, fees and other
financial benefits at Northwestern
University. As a scholarship midshipmen you incur no obligation to the Navy until
your sophomore year. Upon
graduation,
midshipmen
are
commissioned
as
officers
in
the
unrestricted line Naval Reserve. Students selected for the NROTC Scholarship
Program must apply for admission
to or already be enrolled at Northwestern University and take the normal course
load required by the university for degree completion. Further, scholarship
midshipmen are required to follow additional academic guidelines.
Navy NROTC College Program
Applicants who have either missed the NROTC Scholarship deadline, or were not
selected for the NROTC Scholarship can still join the NROTC program at Northwestern
University. As a College Program midshipman you will be a fully integrated part
of the battalion and will incur no obligation to Navy until your Junior year. Additionally,
while
in
the
program
you
will
have several opportunities to apply for various NROTC scholarships, including
the
full 4-year
scholarship.
Historically, most Northwestern College Programmers successfully receive a four
year scholarship after joining the battalion.
