Scholarship Awards

The Alumni League is pleased to award five grants each semester to selected members of the Trojan Battalion. This financial aid is made possible through the contributions provided by our alumni members to the USC NROTC Midshipmen Success Fund plus contributions from the Benner Fund. The award recognizes the Midshipmen’s scholastic and leadership achievements in the Battalion, at USC and in their community. The scholarship committee members are duly impressed by the high caliber of academic achievement, unit participation and leadership development embraced by these midshipmen with many having to work part time jobs to make ends meet and achieve their academic goals. The funds are very important to each of the recipients and are credited to their university account to assist with their school and living expenses.
