BROADENED OPPORTUNITY
FOR OFFICER SELECTION
AND TRAINING (BOOST)
PROGRAM
Academy
The BOOST Program supports the Navy’s
Affirmative Action Plan by offering enlisted men and
women a comprehensive program of academic
preparation for successful pursuit of a Navy or Marine
Corps commission through the NROTC Program or the
USNA.
The BOOST Program prepares selected applicants
for entry into the NROTC Scholarship Program,
NROTC Scholarship Program Nurse Corps Option, or
USNA. Each BOOST graduate is offered an NROTC
scholarship or an appointment to the USNA, depending
on individual qualifications.
The BOOST Program provides an upward mobility
opportunity to persons who have demonstrated qualities
necessary for careers as unrestricted line naval officers,
but whose past academic performance does not qualify
them for immediate selection into an officer accession
program. As the BOOST Program is a significant part
of the Navy Affirmative Action Plan, interested
minority personnel are strongly encouraged to apply.
The BOOST Program is located at the Naval
Education and Training Center, Newport, Rhode Island.
This program consists of a rigorous 12-month college
preparatory curriculum that consists of mathematics,
English, science, computer science, campus skills, and
military training.
Upon graduation from BOOST,
individuals and/or the Navy have several options:
. If the graduate accepts an NROTC scholarship,
he/she is released from active duty into the Naval
Reserve and assigned to an NROTC unit. For NROTC
scholarship recipients, university assignments are not
determined until the last quarter of BOOST school. The
individual may be assigned to a school other than
his/her first choice if considered in the best interest of
the selectee or the Navy.
l Nurse Corps option selectees must attend a
university that offers an accredited nursing program.
. If accepted by the USNA, the graduate reports to
the academy for plebe summer indoctrination.
For additional information and application
procedures, refer to Article 1020360 of the
