College Program

Welcome college program applicants! Current or incoming college students may enter NROTC through the college program at any point prior to the beginning of your sophomore year. Students accepted into the college program then compete for and frequently receive either two or three-year scholarships.

If you have not already done so, contact the recruiting officer to set up an appointment. At this initial meeting, we will determine what you would like to get out of the program and how we can help you.
