Ease the Strain for Paying for College

One of the most stressful complications for college students is finding the money to pay for the thousands of dollars of college-related expenses. The Navy and Marine Corps offer many scholarship options for those looking to gain tuition or housing assistance while pursuing their degree as a full-time student. ROTC offers two, three, and four-year scholarships, based on individual cadets' circumstances. Scholarships are competitive at the national or campus level. The Naval ROTC scholarship entitles its recipients to full-tuition assistance or room-and-board reimbursement, as well as a textbook/fee allowance and a monthly stipend to cover the student’s living expenses.
In addition to the scholarship options offered by the Navy and Marine Corps, Norwich University also has a ROTC financial aid policy.
