The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League has provided a powerful voice for a stronger sea service to Congress and to the American people. The Navy League has grown into the foremost citizens’ organization to serve, support and stand with all the sea services – the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.

The Navy League is comprised of 40,000 civilians in more than 240 councils around the world working to support sea service members and their families. We do this through a variety of education programs that remind our fellow citizens that the United States is a maritime nation whose national economic and security interests are inextricably tied to the freedom of the seas.

The Navy League has three missions: to enhance the morale of active-duty personnel and their families; inform Congress and the American public on the importance of strong sea services; and support youth through programs such as the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Junior ROTC and Young Marines that expose young people to the values of our sea services.

Membership in the Navy League is open to former military personnel of all services, as well as all U.S. citizens, men and women, with interest in keeping our maritime services a viable and broadly capable  military force.

This year the Navy League of the Treasure Coast will offer a $1000 scholarship to a deserving Naval Sea Cadet, Navy or Marine Junior ROTC cadet who has been accepted and will attend an accredited university, college, or other recognized higher learning institution in the fall of this year.

The scholarship award will be an initial payment of $500.00, with a follow-on award of $500.00 after the end of the first graded college term where the recipient's GPA is shown to be at or above 3.00.  The application for this scholarship needs to be submitted no later than March 31, 2023.   The selected scholarship awardee(s) will be the Navy League's guest at the May dinner meeting to receive the initial scholarship check.
