Captain Maximillian Berry, Executive Officer of the 1st Marine Corps District arrived at Kearny High School to present Julian Fernandez with the prestigious 4-Year NROTC Marine Option Scholarship. This scholarship is a highly competitive and significant achievement, providing the recipient with a unique opportunity to serve our country while receiving a top-tier education. Each year, thousands of high school seniors apply for this prestigious scholarship, but only a select number are chosen. The scholarship is designed to identify top candidates who are not only academically strong but also demonstrate leadership potential, physical fitness, and a strong commitment to serving as a Marine Corps Officer.
This scholarship covers full tuition for up to four years at an accredited college or university, and it also includes a monthly stipend for living expenses, as well as money for textbooks.
In addition to financial support, the scholarship recipient will receive a guaranteed spot in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) program, where they will undergo military training alongside their college coursework. The program equips students with leadership skills, physical training, and military education, all while preparing them for a future as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps upon graduation .
This scholarship not only opens doors to a rewarding career in the military but also provides exceptional leadership training and academic development. Julian will be studying Cyber Security/Computer Science and attending either Penn State or Rutgers New Brunswick in the fall.
Julian, we are so proud of you!! Great Job!!
