The head of the U.S. Navy said that service might take a second look at the mix of scholarships it offers to Naval ROTC midshipmen in the next few years.
Currently, the Navy places an emphasis on so called STEM undergraduate college majors (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for its midshipmen over liberal arts degrees like literature, international relations and history for its about $106 million in yearly scholarships.
The Department of the Navy funds 4,200 NROTC midshipmen — around 3,300 Navy and about 870 Marine Corps midshipmen. For Navy options, 85 percent of the funds are devoted to STEM majors while 15 percent is left for liberal arts and language degrees.
