2025 AUSN Patriotism Awards Call for Nominations

Through its Patriotism Awards, the Association of the United States Navy has long honored outstanding students involved in high school Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) and college-level NROTC programs across the United States. This year, high school Sea Cadets in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps are also eligible.

Commanding officers or unit instructors may nominate students demonstrating exemplary honor, courage and commitment. Each nominee receives a certificate, letter of congratulations and a Navy-authorized medal to be worn on their uniforms. Award packages are sent to the nominating sponsor for formal presentation.

Further information and nomination forms may be found under Patriotism Awards on the AUSN website.

Please help us continue to encourage our youth and pay tribute to those who may become our protectors and leaders of tomorrow. If you know of anyone involved in NROTC, NJROTC or Sea Cadets, tell them about this awards opportunity.
