Once information is received their application will be screened and they will be informed if they will be submitted to Naval Services Training Command (NSTC) for the scholarship. Prior to awarding the scholarship, a qualified applicant must pass a medical exam, paid for by the Navy. The scholarship pays full for tuition, fees, books, uniforms, and a monthly stipend of $250.00. In addition if a student attends FAMU on a NROTC Scholarship, the University offers a limited number of ROOM & BOARD scholarships. The end result is that the student attends college on a FULL RIDE!
