For
the past 36 years the Washington D.C. Chapter of the National Naval Officers
Association (DCNNOA) has provided scholarship opportunities to graduating
minority seniors from the DC metropolitan area (Maryland, Washington, DC and
Northern VA). We are a non-profit 501(C3) organization.
Each year DCNNOA awards over 30 scholarships
starting at $1,000.00 to minority youth from the Washington, DC Metropolitan
area based on academic achievement, positive community involvement, commitment,
and financial need. Scholarship recipients select their major and attend
the college or university of their choice without any obligation to join or
affiliate with the military. An applicant needs to submit only one application
package and he or she will be considered for any of our scholarships for which
they meet the requirements.
An
online application form to apply for our scholarships is available here: https://nnoa.org/chapter-dcnnoa/. If this hyperlink is

times, “unofficial” transcripts are acceptable. Applications should be
completed to the student’s best ability and certified by a school counselor or
staff for accuracy of grades and extracurricular activities. Students must
submit a COMPLETE application package that is verified by his or her school by
May 24, 2024 in order to be considered for a scholarship. Further instructions
and requirements for completing our 2023 application are also posted on our
website.
