<p>Someone came to my school this week to talk about the NROTC Scholarship and how they practically pay your entire college tuition and all the fees. What exactly is that I would have to do if I get accepted into this scholarship. I plan on going to med school after college so would I have to serve in the marines or something of that sort? Would I have to take years off after college for this scholarship? I'm still really confused. Any explanation will greatly help.</p>
<p>5 years of service in either the Navy or Marines after college. If you wanted to be a doctor in the Navy, there is a (highly competitive) program for that. DO NOT apply unless you actually have a desire to serve your country. Also, the deadline is coming up soon, and it’s a lengthy application, so you better stat hustling if you want to apply. It might even be too late, not sure. </p>
<p>And they pay tuition, but not room/board. Do some basic research on the NROTC site.</p>
