- About me:

He is a part of the UPenn NROTC unit which includes Drexel University and Temple. Ben is a student at Drexel, along with his younger brother who is a year behind him. His sister and two other little brothers are very proud of our midshipman.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Son/Daughter

That is interesting - so there are actually fewer full scholarship NROTC students entering freshman year than midshipman who attend the USNA. It makes me wonder how they budget for the students who pick up scholarship $ their 2nd year or part way th…

1200 seems about right. I was looking at the NROTC site and it said: "Currently there are 59 NROTC units/consortiums hosted at 71 schools throughout the United States. The NROTC Program is available at over 150 colleges and universities that either…
