VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navy Federal Credit Union awarded 15 ROTC seniors its annual ROTC All-American Scholarships. The program honors the best and brightest ROTC seniors in all branches of military service nationwide. Launched in 2018, the recipients are chosen by a panel of judges based on the pillars of the ROTC program: Leadership, Military Excellence, Scholarship and Service.
“At the credit union, our goal is to always be ready and available to serve those who are serving, and as a Veteran, I can attest to it,” said Olivia Miller, a judge for the ROTC All American Scholarship Program. “Military service and commitment to the community is central to us, and it’s gratifying to know these students want to continue their service in the military. We’re thrilled to help them kickstart their military careers.”
Every year, Navy Federal contacts all 542 collegiate ROTC units across the country to solicit nominations for the program. In 2024, from 219 qualifying nominees at 216 schools, Navy Federal chose 15 finalists—five per branch of military service—to become ROTC All-American Scholarship recipients. The finalists each receive a $2,500 scholarship, and their Booster Club or Student Fund receives a $1,500 donation.
Out of the 15 finalists, Navy Federal will select and honor the top Air Force, Army and Navy/Marine students as the three ROTC All-American Scholarship Program Students of the Year. The Students of the Year each receive a $6,500 scholarship, and their Booster Club or Student Fund receives a $5,000 donation.
The Students of the Year will be honored guests of the Military Bowl in late-December and featured on ESPN’s broadcast of the game. All of the finalists and Students of the Year will also be featured across Navy Federal’s social media channels over the coming months.
