Answer 1

Seaman to Admiral-21

The STA-21 commissioning program is designed to create a fair system for sailors to receive an undergraduate college education and become commissioned officers. Enlisted personnel must meet eligibility guidelines.

Those who are selected get a maximum of 36 months of full-time, year-round study to complete a bachelor's degree. Participants remain on active duty while attending college and receive an education voucher of up to $10,000 per year to cover tuition, fees and books. STA-21 participants also become members of the Navy ROTC unit at an NROTC institution and drill with NROTC midshipmen.

A limited number of participants will be chosen to attend the BOOST program, a three-to-six month individualized program to improve academic skills in reading, writing, math and science.
