What is the College Program?
The College Program is a way for non-scholarship students, and current university students to join the unit while working towards earning a scholarship. Individuals in the College Program participate in unit events and apply for a scholarship while part of the unit. College Program Midshipmen do not have a financial or service obligation.
College Program students will be required to attend New Student Orientation conducted on campus the week prior to the start of the school year.
College Program Midshipmen who receive a scholarship will have the same benefits and service obligations as Midshipmen with a four-year scholarship.
If a Midshipman does not receive a scholarship by junior year, he/she may apply for advanced standing. If on advanced standing, a Midshipman will receive a monthly stipend and will be commissioned after graduation. Midshipmen on advanced standing do not receive a scholarship.
