The scholarship is funded through the Naval STEM Coordination Office (NSCO) at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and administered by CNAF (Commander, Naval Air Forces) via select partnerships with Host Programs (Universities and Flight Academies) across the country.
The scholarship will pay for round-trip airfare, room and board, collegiate academics, and flight hours required to potentially earn a Private Pilot’s License (PPL) through an in-residence collegiate program that is approximately eight weeks in length. The Scholarship is in the amount of $26,000 for two months of training. This is a very competitive process. There were 257 applicants from Marine Corps JROTC and Navy JROTC and only 36 cadets were selected for acceptance.
