awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in one of 18 majors and an ensign’s or second lieutenant’s gold bars. NAVAL ACADEMY PREPARATORY SCHOOL The Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) is located in Newport, Rhode Island, as a part of the Naval Education and Training Center. With up to 300 male and female students, the school offers a balanced academic, military, and physical program patterned after the Naval Academy. Academically, the school teaches mathematics, chemistry, physics, and English at three levels of difficulty. It also teaches an introductory computer course. Although not required to gain a Secretary of the Navy appointment to the Academy, attendance at NAPS greatly improves the chances for obtaining one of these appointments. NROTC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC)  Scholarship  Program  leads  to  an appointment as a Reserve or Regular officer in the Navy or Marine Corps at the grade of ensign or second lieutenant. If you qualify and are selected for this program, you will receive a scholarship to a college or university with an NROTC unit. You must sign an agreement to spend 6 years in the Navy upon completion of or withdrawal from school. If you are on active duty at the time you sign the agreement, you will be discharged to attend school for a maximum of 40 months. During that time you will receive tuition, books, and fees. Personnel who have entered the program from active duty will also receive a subsistence allowance. BROADENED OPPORTUNITY FOR OFFICER SELECTION AND TRAINING (BOOST) PROGRAM If you are interested in the Naval Academy or the NROTC Scholarship Program and qualify in all respects except academically, you may want to apply for the BOOST program. BOOST stands for Broadened Opportunity for Officer Selection and Training. The BOOST program is intended to help people who have been educationally deprived but have demonstrated they have the basic qualities and desires needed to gain a commission. If you are selected for BOOST, you will receive academic, physical fitness, and general military training as well as counseling. Selection for BOOST does not guarantee your selection for the Naval Academy or the NROTC Scholarship Program, but it certainly increases your opportunities. ENLISTED COMMISSIONING PROGRAM If  you  are  interested  in  a  commission  and  have enough college credit to complete all the requirements for  a  baccalaureate  degree  within  2  years,  you  may qualify  for  the  Enlisted  Commissioning  Program (ECP). If you are selected for the ECP, you will attend a college  of  your  choice  and  receive  full  pay  and allowances while you do so. However, you will pay your own educational expenses. Upon graduation, you will attend Officer Candidate School and be commissioned. You  must  agree  to  a  6-year  obligation  for  active enlisted  service  from  the  date  of  enrollment  in  the Enlisted   Commissioning   Program.   Upon   your commission, that obligation is canceled and you assume an obligation of 4 years of commissioned service. NAVAL RESERVE OFFICER PROGRAMS Six programs lead to commissions in the U.S. Naval Reserve  for  enlisted  personnel  who  possess  a baccalaureate degree or higher. These programs are as follows: 1.   Unrestricted Line Appointment 2.   Program Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate 3.   Program Aviation Officer Candidate School 4.   Program Navy Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps 5.   Program Civil Engineer Corps 6.   Direct  Appointment  Program  Nuclear  Power Instructor  and  Naval  Reactor  Engineer  Direct Appointment Program 16-29 Student Notes:
