I didnt get accepted/didnt apply for a four-year scholarship. Can I still join the NROTC program?
Yes. The NROTC College Program allows non-scholarship midshipmen who attend UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Cal Maritime, and Stanford to participate in NROTC and provides an opportunity to earn scholarship benefits for your last two, and occasionally three, years of college. The service obligation for college program midshipmen is three years of active duty after graduation (or three and a half years for Marine Option college programmers). If you are interested in participating in the College Program, contact LT Gillespie at dgillespie@military.berkeley.edu or (510) 643-6345. There are also a limited number of four-year scholarship opportunities. If you are majoring in a technical major, you have an advantage to one of these scholarships; contact LT Gillespie for more details. You may also want to investigate non-NROTC officer programs such as the Navy Baccalaureate Completion Program and the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program.
