The NUPOC program culminates in a career opportunity that is without equal. But the immediate financial rewards that can be gained as a student are impressive on a whole other scale.
The NUPOC Offer
While finishing your degree, you could receive a monthly salary and housing allowance that ranges from $3,280 to $5,610 (housing allowance may vary depending upon location, and the length of the offer depends upon the career area you plan to enter). Now do the math.
Submarine Officers, Surface Warfare Officers and Power School Instructors: The NUPOC offer is currently available for up to 30 months prior to college graduation — making it worth up to $168,300 to you as a student.
Naval Reactors Engineers: The NUPOC offer is currently available for up to 18 months prior to college graduation — making it potentially worth over $100,000 to you as a student.
Use the money to cover tuition and books, to pay rent or buy a car, to purchase meals or whatever you want. It’s there to allow students the freedom to focus on studies while in school. There are no requirements to wear a uniform or attend military training during this time. All you have to do is maintain the required grade point average and prepare for the exciting future that’s waiting.

- A $15,000 selection bonus once accepted into the NUPOC program.
- Plus an additional $2,000 bonus upon completion of nuclear propulsion training.
