Support the People

NPS students and alumni selflessly sacrifice their personal safety, comfort, and even their lives, to protect the freedoms we cherish, embodying dedication to a cause greater than themselves. Time in Monterey is a welcome break from deployments and time apart from their families.

The NPS Foundation supports programs that improve quality of life for NPS students and their families, helping them build community and relationships and strengthen the family unit. For current students, we create a community around shared interests through a wide variety of on-campus and community events and recreational, student-run clubs. For graduates, the Alumni Association connects NPS’ distinguished alumni community across the world.

Awards

We recognize the most high-achieving NPS students and faculty members by funding quarterly awards that honor and celebrate their achievements. Recipients of these awards demonstrate excellence in classroom learning or instruction and impressive thesis research that deliver solutions to defense challenges. Recipients often go above and beyond in contributing to student education beyond the classroom or in distinguishing themselves in a specific department.

These awards are just one way the NPS Foundation encourages an environment of unparalleled scholarly excellence for our next generation of military leaders.

Clubs

To help students and their families take advantage of this break from operational duty and all that the Monterey Peninsula has to offer, we create a community around shared interests through funding a wide variety of recreational, student-run clubs, including Auto, Chess, Cyber, Cycling, Drone Racing, Flying, Golf, International, Makers, Motorcycle, Outdoors, Podcast, Running, Sailing, Skydiving, Soccer, Whiskey and Wine. Clubs are open to students and their families, faculty, and community supporters.

The Foundation also hosts quarterly social events to help NPS students and their families connect with each other and build community during their time in Monterey. The NPS community can also participate in annual events like the Grand Winter Ball and the America’s Heroes Golf Tournament.
