Description

The Nautilus Alumni Association, Inc. (NAAI) has established the Nautilus Educational Assistance Fund (NEAF) to provide undergraduate scholarships for spouses and descendants of current or former crew members of USS NAUTILUS (SSN 571) through The Nautilus Scholarship Foundation. The scholarship shall be awarded to spouse, child, grandchild, great grandchild, or step child, step grandchild or great step grandchild of a crewmember or former crewmember of USS Nautilus who has served honorably aboard Nautilus for at least 30 days. Dependent children applicants must be a high school senior or be currently enrolled as a full-time student in a college or an accredited vocational or technical institute, who is working toward their first Associate's or Bachelor's degree. They must be unmarried and under the age of 24 at the time of the application deadline. Scholars attending any Military Service Academy are not eligible for the Dolphin Scholarship. Dependent spouse applicants must intend to or be enrolled as a full-time or part-time student with a minimum of 12 credit hours per year in order to receive their first Associate's or Bachelor's degree. All scholars are selected on the basis of academic proficiency as well as commitment and excellence in school and community activities. Although not a part of the actual selection process, financial need is considered once all financial aid assistance for an applicant has been determined.
