Two William Floyd High School 2024 graduates and now NJROTC alumni – Sanaya Spruell and Matthew Campos – have been selected to receive one-year naval preparatory scholarships, which after successful completion will result in four-year NROTC Scholarships where they receive full tuition, stipend for books, educational fees and other financial benefits at their selected college or university. Then, after graduation from the four-year NROTC Scholarship program, Sanaya and Matthew will receive an officer’s commission as midshipmen in the U.S. Navy!
