Scholarship Information

These three types are:

National Scholarships  

These scholarships are awarded to high school seniors who make it through an intensely competitive national screening process. The scholarship pays all tuition and fees. In addition to these funds, there is a $250 book allowance per semester, not to mention a monthly subsistence of $250 for Freshmen, $300 for Sophomores, $350 for Juniors, and $400 for Seniors, which is paid directly to the student. Uniforms are also provided.  Scholarship students also participate in four weeks of paid travel and training sessions during the summers between their Freshman and Sophomore, Sophomore and Junior, and Junior and Senior years.
 

NSTC-Controlled Scholarships

If an interested student is not selected for a National Scholarship, he or she may participate in the NROTC Unit for an academic semester and then apply for a two- or up to a three and a half-year scholarship. If the student has a good academic record in that first semester of college and performs well in the NROTC Unit, he or she will have an excellent chance of selection for a two- or three and a half-year NSTC-Controlled Scholarship.  Additionally, the Professor of Naval Science may recommend academically and militarily qualified NROTC college program students for the Controlled or Leadership and Technical scholarships.  



 

Professor of Naval Science (PNS) "HBCU" Scholarships

Because SSU is an "HBCU" (Historically Black College/University), the Professor of Naval Science is authorized to issue a number of scholarships paying full tuition, book stipends, subsistence and fees to all qualified high school seniors or college freshmen.
