SPRING BRANCH, Texas – (March 30, 2021) Conner Stevenson, 18, of Spring Branch, Texas, a senior attending Smithson Valley High School, was awarded the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship in the amount of $180,000 during a ceremony held at the school. Stevenson, who serves as one of the school’s Navy Junior ROTC cadet company commanders, will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall. “It has always been my dream to become a military officer and one day become a fighter pilot,” said Stevenson, who is attaining his private pilot license. “I would like to fly the F/A-18 or F-35 in the Navy; I watched a lot of Top Gun.” The Navy offers several scholarship programs to help pay for school so a person can enjoy a normal college life and focus on their studies before starting a career in the Navy. Through these programs, a person will enter the Navy in a leadership position as a commissioned officer. Officers in the Navy have responsibilities that include anything from low-level management to the highest levels of command.

NTAG San Antonio’s area of responsibility includes two TAOCs which manage more than 34 Navy Recruiting Stations and Navy Officer Recruiting Stations spread throughout 144,000 square miles of Central and South Texas territory.
