- Today we sit down with CAPT Matthew Roberts, the newest member of the ROTC Consulting Team.
CAPT Roberts recently retired from the Navy as the Commander of the Navy ROTC unit at Auburn University.
We discuss what Navy ROTC is looking for in high school scholarship candidates.
How much emphasis is placed on physical fitness vs academic studies for prospective students in the scholarship selection process?
It depends if you are looking NROTC or Marine Corps Option, as they vary a lot! For NROTC, academics is 45% and PT is 5%.
Is PT a bigger part of it for the Marine option?
An average ACT of 33! That’s top 2% of test takers. Is it any wonder why they are short 2300 officers?
They have actually de-emphasized the ACT compared to the other ROTC scholarships. Only ~13% of the overall score for candidates is now SAT/ACT.
How much does this apply to NROTC Collegiate Mids? My daughter did not apply for NROTC scholarship, but was approached to apply for the NPP scholarship (which she did not get) but was accepted to join the NROTC program as a Collegiate member. She is now very interested in participating, and hopefully being considered for a 3-year scholarship next year.
We highly encourage joining NROTC and competing for a side-load scholarship. If she blooms where she is planted, she has a great chance of earning a scholarship.
