The Navy Exchange Service Command’s (NEXCOM) A-OK Student Reward Program offers all qualified students to participate in a quarterly drawing for monetary awards of $2,500, $1,500, $1,000 or $500 for a total of $5,500 per quarter.

The next drawing will be at the end of March.

Any eligible full-time student that has a "B" grade point average equivalent or better, as determined by their school system, may enter the drawing. Home-schooled students can also qualify with acknowledgement that the student has a “B” average or equivalent record of accomplishment.

Eligible students include dependent children of active-duty members, Reservists and military retirees, as well as U.S. civilian Department of Defense employees stationed outside the continental United States and U.S. civilian employees of firms under contract to the Department of Defense outside the continental United States. Students must be enrolled in 1st through 12th grade. Dependent children without an individual Dependent Identification Card must be accompanied by their sponsor to submit their entry. Each student may enter only once each grading period and must re-enter with each qualifying report card.  

To enter the drawing, stop by any NEX with a current report card or progress report and have a NEX associate verify the eligibility. Then fill out an entry card and obtain an A-OK ID, which entitles the student to discount coupons for NEX products and services.   

NEXCOM has been offering students a chance to help pay for college through its A-OK Student Reward Program since 1997. Since the program’s inception, NEXCOM has awarded over $750,000 in savings bonds and monetary awards to students with the help of its generous vendor partners.
