No loans for graduate study are made under the program. This is not the purpose of the program. School financial aid officers can advise on sources of aid and probable eligibility. The applicant must have a minimum 3.0 on a 4.0 grade scale. Once accepted into the program, the student must carry a full-time course load and be in good academic standing at an accredited college or technical institution in the United States.
Eligibility ends when the student graduates or is no longer enrolled full time.
A. Unfortunately, our financial resources at this time will not permit that. We depend on direct contributions and planned gifts to enable us to assist our students. Qualified students are selected by the Scholarship Board on the basis of scholastic ability, goals, character and leadership potential as well as financial need. The loans are awarded annually for up to five years of undergraduate study or until the first undergraduate degree has been awarded. Two new programs, the LCDR Loren Peter Garlinger, USN Fund and the Margaret P. Crozier Memorial Fund, also provide grants to TROA loan recipients entering their final year of college.
