Interested in becoming an Officer in the United States Marine Corps? Every Navy ROTC unit hosts Marine Corps Midshipmen on dedicated Marine Option scholarships! Joining a unit will allow you to commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC once you attend OCS (Officer Candidate School) for six weeks and graduate college with a degree.
If you receive a scholarship, you will receive 100% tuition, a monthly stipend and a book stipend each semester. While in ROTC, you develop leadership skills, physical training, lifelong connections amongst your peers, and more. You will also have the opportunity to go to summer trainings, further helping you become better equipped to be an Officer in the USMC.
Visit the NETC website for more information to apply for the scholarship, or reach out to any NROTC unit with any questions! Semper Fi. đź’Ş
