The Naval Sea Cadet Corps Scholarship program was established to provide financial assistance to deserving Cadets who wish to further their education at the college level.  Clearly, with several thousand applicants to the Naval Academy each year, members and former members of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps do extremely well for selection as scholarship recipients in the Naval ROTC Program and for entry into one (or more) of the several other National and State Service Academies or in their choices of other paths of National Service.
