a. Registration for either the SAT or ACT is an individual applicant’s<br />

responsibility and must be acomplished no later than 1 month<br />

prior to the test date.<br />

b. Scores must be released either at the same time the SAT or ACT<br />

is taken, or by mid November, should an additional score release card<br />

be used. Scores released to the NROTC Scholarship Program (Code 0656)<br />

normally take 4 to 6 weeks. To ensure the 31 December score receipt<br />

deadline is met, encourage applicants, if necessary, to "Rush" release<br />

scores to us. To "Rush" release scores to us, the applicant must<br />

directly call the testing agency. The testing agency will normally<br />

release the scores within 46 hours. The testing agency charges a fee<br />

for this, which is the applicant’s responsibility.<br />

c. Applicants are not authorized to submit or release scores<br />

except through the official SAT or ACT releasing agencies.<br />

d. SAT and/or ACT scores are used to determine if the applicant is<br />

a finalist. The minimum acceptable college board score for the <strong>Marine</strong>option<br />

program is 1000 (composite) on the SAT and 45 (math plus<br />

English) on the ACT.<br />

e. Each Navy recruiting district (equivalent to a <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Corps</strong><br />

Recruiting Station) conducts a college board admissions testing<br />

program. We encourage <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Corps</strong> Districts to communicate with the<br />

Navy education specialists within their districts to participate in<br />

this program. Use of this program will expedite the release of college<br />

board scores and subsequent declaration of finalists. The early<br />

declaration of finalists is the key to a successful NROTC recruiting<br />

program.<br />

6. <strong>Marine</strong>-Option Scholarship Selection Boards. The <strong>Marine</strong>-Option<br />

Scholarship Selection Boards are tasked with selecting the best<br />

qualified of all finalists for the scholarship. Two boards meet each<br />

year. The first is the Early Scholarship Selection Board. This board<br />

is designed to select those obviously superior finalists and offer them<br />

a scholarship early in the annual cycle. The Early Scholarship<br />

Selection Board normally meets in November, and will review all<br />

finalist applications received by the deadline date published in the<br />

annual <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Corps</strong> bulletin in the 1120 series. The second is the<br />

Regular Scholarship Selection Board. This board reviews those finalist<br />

applications not selected by the Early Scholarship Selection Board as<br />

well as all other finalist applications received by the deadline date.<br />

7. NROTC Processing Stations. Each District Director designates NROTC<br />

processing stations which serve as local NROTC scholarship information,<br />

interview, and administration units.<br />

a. Figure 3-1 is a check-off list of documents required for<br />

completion of the finalist’s scholarship application file.<br />

b. Figure 3-2 contains a list of responsibilities of NROTC<br />

processing stations.<br />

8. Computer-Generated Applicant (A) and Finalist (F) Roster<br />

Information. All NROTC processing stations receive the computer<br />

rosters every 2 weeks until August and weekly thereafter until January.<br />

The A roster contains the SSN, address, phone number, NROTC processing<br />

station, race/ethnic code, high school grade, and SAT/ACT score for<br />

each of the NROTC processing station’s applicants. The F roster<br />

contains the SSN, name, NROTC processing station, race/ethnic code,<br />

SAT/ACT score, and medical information for each of the NROTC processing<br />

station’s designated finalists (at least 1000 on the SAT or 45 on the<br />

ACT). With their rosters, NROTC processing stations will receive<br />

gummed-address labels for all applicants who are declared finalists.<br />

The processing contractor does not advise applicants they have been<br />

declared finalists. Processing stations are required to advise applicants<br />

by letter (figure 3-3) they are finalists. The contractor will<br />

continue to advise applicants by letter that their application has been<br />

received or that they are nonfinalists.<br />

9. Physical Qualification Information. The Department of Defense<br />

Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) is responsible for<br />

scheduling and reviewing all physical examinations for the NROTC<br />

scholarship selection process. The selection boards are not aware of<br />

the physical status of any finalists.<br />
