Denied the National Scholarship?

The College Program is a way for non-scholarship students to become part of the NROTC program. College Program midshipmen with more than 30 college credits can apply for a 2 or 3 year scholarship during their sophomore or junior year. These “side load” scholarships are not the same as the National Scholarship and must be applied for through the NROTC Unit while participating in the College Program.
