Naval Programs

NROTC Scholarships

JU, University of North Florida (UNF), and Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) students who participate in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program at JU may be eligible for NROTC scholarships awarded by the U. S. Navy (see the Division of Naval Science in the College of Arts and Sciences section of the Catalog). Information about these scholarships programs may be requested from the JU NROTC Detachment.

Jacksonville University offers JU Room and Board Scholarships and College Program Room and Board Scholarships to eligible NROTC midshipmen. However, restrictions apply:

  • Room and board scholarships offered to full tuition ROTC scholarship recipients will cover any choice of room and meal plan. In cases where an individual has previously been offered an institutional award with a higher dollar value, that award is no longer valid.
  • The room and board scholarship will be reduced or eliminated if otherwise eligible recipients also qualify for additional federal, state, or outside scholarships or grants that would cause an individual’s total financial aid to exceed the cost of attendance determined by the Office of Student Financial Assistance.
  • College Program Room and Board Scholarships will apply if the cost of the room and meal plan exceeds the awarded academic merit scholarship amount.

Jump In Grant

Jacksonville University will provide up to $10,000 per year for up to three years in matching grant assistance to qualified participants in the U.S. Navy’s Seaman to Admiral 21 Program (STA-21). Some restrictions apply and applicants must file the FAFSA each year.
