College Program

**College Program Applications must be received by 31 July to begin in the Fall Semester and 30 November to begin in the Spring Semester**

Didn't receive a National Scholarship? Join CU NROTC as a College Programmer!

For students that are NOT recipients of the four year scholarship, you can still join CU NROTC. The GPA and SAT/ACT score requirements are still the same for this Scholarship Recipients and College Programmers. College Programmers receive the same training and are held to the same standards as scholarship students. Navy College Programmers have the opportunity to apply for the 3-year, 2-year, and Advanced Standing (1-year) scholarships throughout their time with CU NROTC. Marine College Programmer's must join the unit as a Freshmen in order to be competitive for the 3-year or 2-year sideload scholarship. Many students elect this route and receive their commission! Although this path is very competitive, the work-ethic, study habits, and professional skills developed are equal to those who receive a National NROTC scholarship.

Your College Programmer application package consists of eight items and, once completed, should be submitted to LT Jones (Elijah.Jones-1@colorado.edu) and CC ENS Daugherty (Makenzie.Daugherty@colorado.edu).

Applications can be submitted at any time throughout the year!
