2. 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 the MGIB money for your education.
3. Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC): This competitive scholarship is available for your application before attending college. If you are awarded a scholarship, you can choose from a participating college and take a normal course load. Graduate and be commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy.

Scholarship recipients who sign an NROTC contract for receipt of undergraduate educational assistance on or after July 1, 2010 must obligate to serve in the Navy for five years active duty instead of the previous four years.
