Default Info on NROTC Scholarship....?

Does anyone have any info on NROTC Scholarships (especially Marine option). I've been looking into it, im too young to go to a recruiter, and they don't give you much information on it at the Navy/Marine website(s).

First off, I'm assuming you mean NROTC and not NJROTC.

Second, go back and correct the punctuation in your post.

Finally, as far as scholarships go, I would check the individual college's web site that you are considering. Generally they will a little bit of information about the program with links to application materials.

If you were to provide us with some specific questions on what you're looking for - it would be a lot easier to give you some answers, provided you tried searching on your own, first.

Well, i've been looking into it for a while, but i guess my main question is the academics. They say they pay close attention to grades made in english, math, science, history, and language (I think). But they site no specific grades needed, or preffered. No SAT/ACT scores either.

Academic requirements for program participation can be found here:

https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/academicreq.cfm

No SAT/ACT scores? I think you need to look a bit closer. That's on the "Genreal Eligibility" page:

https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/eligibility.cfm

Here's the section on NROTC Marine-Option midshipmen on the USMC website:

Hey,

I'm a current NROTC Midshipman 4/C, and can tell you that you need to have pretty decent grades to get a four year scholarship right off (3.3 or more to be relatively certain of getting the scholarship.) For the Marine Option scholarship you can actually have slightly lower grades, but they still need to be decent. For Marines PT is the important part. I know in my Battalion in order to transfer from Navy to Marines you need a PFT score of about 275. If you do end up going to a recruiter make sure that you make clear that you are going NROTC and you aren't going to enlist. They'll try to make you enlist (they did me.) Good luck and have a great Navy day.

Hooyah!

Respectfully,
MIDN 4/C Altman

Some Midshipmen from the USNA came to the school today and did a presentation which I attended. They basically said the same thing, one of them didn't have perfect grades, but they were good. My weighted GPA now (Sophomore year) is 3.25.

Yeah just remember that they adjust your GPA so it isn't weighted when they take a GPA into account for scholarships.
