MONTEREY, Ca. - The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is working to further extend access to its advanced degree programs throughout a warfighter’s career. Building on the recent success of providing graduate-level certificates to student Naval Aviators, NPS and Commander, Naval Air Forces recently announced an expansion of the school’s Shoemaker Scholarship program from 10 to 50 quotas, giving more newly commissioned Naval officers in the aviation pipeline an opportunity to earn their master’s degree before entering flight school.
