NIP Announces the Winners of the 2022 Rear Admiral Sumner Scholarship Program

Each year, the Naval Intelligence Foundation Committee awards five scholarships to dependent children (under 24 years of age) of regular and reserve Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard officer and enlisted intelligence personnel. This year’s winners are listed below. 

(Note, the Captain Anthony D. Sesow scholarship is awarded specifically for active-duty Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard enlisted personnel serving in intelligence-related assignment, but there were no applicants for this scholarship this year. NIP encourages our members to reach out and encourage our enlisted members to apply for this great opportunity!)
