JHS SENIORS: In my opinion, the NROTC scholarship is the BEST opportunity the US Government offers: a full-ride scholarship to almost any major University and a full-time career as an Officer in the United States Marine Corps or United States Navy. Recipients will graduate debt-free with a degree of their choice, and earn a competitive salary in an institution that will propel their network for future success. The website to the application (NETFOCUS) is included here:. Amazing opportunity for females and diverse students! No obligation for applying; recipients can deny the scholarship if selected
