We were warned at one of the schools to not pursue a scholarship through a recruiting office, but they do exist, in our case it was Army, and the contact at the school we were at said that Narional Guard does have college scholarships to give, they are easier to get and if you sign their paperwork, you cannot go active duty later, no matter what you do, and there is nothing that can be done by anyone, so he was very careful to tell her not to sign anything if promised outside of the school itself or through cadet command. With regard to Navy, a friend of mine said her son was recently contacted by a Navy recruiter wanting him to apply for an ROTC scholarship and made big promises I had not heard before, and they did go down to a recruiting office to talk to him about it, not through a university, I would echo what was said above, deal with the recruiting operations officer directly at a University, any university can help you, even if it isn't the one you want to attend.
