The Secretary of the Navy can trade tuition-free spots with a college: a student studies free at the Naval Postgraduate School, and in return a military officer studies free at that college. Eligible students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with skills related to naval warfare or national security.

(a) Admission under a reciprocal agreement. The Secretary of the Navy may make a deal with an accredited college or university. Under the deal, a qualifying student from that school can study at the Naval Postgraduate School for free. In return, the school must let a member of the armed forces take its courses for free, for a similar length of time. (b) Eligible students. A student can be admitted under this kind of agreement only if two things are true: the student is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident, and the Secretary of the Navy decides the student shows real ability in a field connected to naval warfare and national security.
