Some people think joining the Navy means not going to college. Not true. With the skyrocketing cost of education, the Navy may be your best option for getting to college. The Navy has college programs that are available to all new enlistees, such as the Montgomery G.I. Bill, as well as more specialized programs.
The Navy can also accelerate your education by helping you get college credits while you serve or helping to pay off your college loans. In addition, the hands–on experience of the Navy gives you a chance to test–drive different careers before you go to college.
Read more about some of our most popular programs below, then talk to your recruiter to find the one — or more — that’s best for you.
Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC): Apply for this competitive scholarship program before attending college. You can fill out an online application at https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/application/default.cfm. If you are awarded a scholarship, you can choose from a participating college and take a normal course load. When you graduate, you will be commissioned as an officer in the Navy or Naval Reserve.
The Montgomery G.I. Bill (MGIB): Take a small $100 reduction in your Navy pay for just 12 months and you will get back an education benefit of over $36,000. You may use this money toward college once you've completed active duty. Combine it with a Navy College Fund "Kicker" and get over $70,000 toward your education! You will be entitled to receive up to 36 months of educational benefits as a full-time student under this program. See your Navy Recruiter for details.
The Navy College Fund: Available to those who sign up for the MGIB. If you’re a high school graduate, score a 50 or better on the ASVAB, and qualify for certain Navy jobs or apprenticeships, you can get more than $15,000 in addition to your MGIB money for your education.
Navy College Assistance/Student Headstart (CASH): The Navy CASH program is available for the motivated high school or college student who qualifies for the Nuclear Field, Missile Technician Rating or Submarine Electronics Computer Field. Allows recipients to receive full Navy pay and benefits while attending college for up to 12 months.
Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program (BDCP): If you are a college student who is interested in becoming a naval officer when you graduate, you should apply for the Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program (BDCP). This program pays future naval officers a monthly salary while they are still attending college. Qualified technical majors can receive a salary of approximately $1,700 per month for up to 3 years prior to graduation and qualified non–technical majors can receive this salary for up to 2 years prior to graduation.
