Non-Scholarship Opportunity

College Program

The benefit of the College Program is that you get to try out the NROTC and discover if being a Navy or Marine Corps officer is right for you, without a financial or service obligation. It also allows the staff here at KU to evaluate you and help you see whether the Navy or Marine Corps is the right place for you.

The Navy will provide uniforms and books for Naval Science courses. The student will have to pay for all other expenses (tuition, room & board, any other fees). Any freshman already attending or accepted to a school with a NROTC unit may apply for the College Program. To begin the application process, the student should contact the KU NROTC unit. The College Program Midshipman will participate fully in all battalion events like those Midshipmen on scholarship.

If a College Program Midshipman does not obtain a scholarship while in NROTC (Scholarship applications are made at the end of each semester until the junior year.), he/she will have the opportunity to apply for advanced standing. The College Program Midshipman must sign a contract of obligation with the Navy on the first day of the junior year if selected for advanced standing. If advanced standing is granted by the Navy, the Midshipman will receive a monthly stipend of $350-400 during each month for the junior and senior years.

Applications should be submitted to the Recruiting Officer no later than two weeks prior to the start of any semester. Applications can be submitted electronically via fax to: 785-864-3144, or as a scanned PDF file via email to: nrotcrecruiting@ku.edu .
