Navy Outreach and Diversity leaders will visit Maryvale High School in Phoenix on Wednesday, Feb. 21, and Tolleson Union High School Friday, Feb. 23, in search of students who excel in STEM fields, such as nuclear engineering, cryptology, IT and health care.
The Navy also will share information about its $180,000 ROTC Scholarship Program, which pays full college tuition for students with exceptional academic and leadership credentials. The main attraction will be the Nimitz, a mobile virtual reality experience that simulates an actual high-speed Navy SEAL mission.
“We are extremely excited to spend time at Maryvale and Tolleson Union high schools, meeting with exceptional students and faculty, and discussing the great opportunities available in today’s Navy,” Commander Dominique Jackson, Navy Diversity and Outreach, shared in a news release. “It is important for today’s high school students to understand that a Navy STEM career offers an exceptional future.”
