Navy Offers Officer Scholarships

The Navy is seeking applications for the 2007 Officer Scholarship Program through Sept. 1. The program allows officers to enroll in graduate school on a full-time basis, receive full pay and allowances, and be reimbursed for moving costs. Tuition must be paid by a non-Navy funded scholarship obtained by the officer, which must cover at least 50 percent of tuition costs. Veteran’s Administration benefits, such as the Montgomery GI Bill, can be used in conjunction with the scholarship. Applicants must be available to start studies before Sept. 30, 2007, and have 24 months or less to complete their coursework. Officers should forward their application packages via their commanding officer to the Commanding Officer, Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC), Code N2A2, 6490 Saufley Field Road, Pensacola, Fla., 32509-5204.
