The other option is NROTC with the same obligations, but you go to a college or university that has a NROTC chapter which most schools do.

The best part is after your 4 year obligation should you choose to leave the Navy your chances of getting a good paying job with a nice title are way above average. Being a former naval officer, or any military officer opens doors everywhere.


Patriot League does offer scholarships. You need to be direct with the coach and if they are serious they will offer your player with the % of a full scholarship that they can give. Patriot League teams are not fully funded so it is not close to the 12.6 scholarships of the fully funded D1 programs.
