Abstract
Every year, thousands of teenagers join Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) to become naval officers. Midshipmen who receive four-year national scholarships are awarded scholarships to public in-state, public out-of-state, or private colleges and universities. This study uses average tuition cost and attrition rates to calculate the cost per commissioned naval officer. It analyzes the cost of each of the three categories independently and the entire NROTC program cost. Results show that the difference in attrition rates is negligible between school categories, and the cost per commission from private schools and public out-of-state schools is more than twice than from public in-state schools. The model created allows Naval Education Training Command to support decision making on cost reductions within the command.
