If you're the kind of person we're looking
for, you've already started to think about what
you'd like to do after graduation.
If a scholarship leading to a career as an
Officer in the U.S. Navy appeals to you, you'll find
this message well worth reading.
The opportunity is very attractive. If you're
selected, we'll provide full tuition during your
Junior and Senior years, pay for your books and
educational fees, and give you $100 a month for
10 months each year to help cover your living
expenses.
There are two different programs you can
apply for. The first is the Nuclear Propulsion
Candidate Scholarship Program (NPCS). lb
qualify, you must have one semester each of
calculus and physics (or two semesters of
calculus) and have a B-minus average or better.
It is open to men only.
The other program is the Two-year NROTC
Scholarship Program. The only difference in the
qualifications is that you must have a C average
(2.3 out of 4.0) or better. It is open to men and
women.
For both programs, you'll need to pass Navy
qualification tests. And, quite frankly, it will help
if your major is math, physical science, or
engineering.
After you're accepted, you begin with six
weeks of training next summer at the Naval
Science Institute at Newport, R.L During ycur
final two years of college, you take several
required courses in math, physics, and Nava!
Science. You also go on a summer cruise prior to
your Senior year. (Of course, you're paid for all
your summer duty.)
, : Upon graduation, you are commissioned as
an Officer in the U.S. Navy. And from then on
your career can take you anywhere m the world,
in a variety of fulfilling jobs. -
Those who apply for the NPCS Program
have a particular challenge ahead of them: The
Navy's Nuclear Power Program. Not everyone
who applies makes it: the men in charge of
more than two thirds of our country's nuclear
reactors must be a very special breed. Final
acceptance into the Navy's Nuclear Power
Program is determined during your Senior year
after an interview in Washington with the
Director, Division of Naval Reactors.
A two-year scholarship worth up to $10,000.
A unique opportunity to serve as an Officer in the
U.S. Navy. You'll want to act now. The deadline '
for acceptance is May 1, 1976 and once the
quotas are filled, you'll have lost your chance to
earn yourself a scholarship. - .

qualify, fill out and mail the coupon below, contact
either your local Naval Recruiting District or the
Professor of Naval Science on your campus, or
