Semper Gumby "Always Flexible"
1. Dress nicely, dress trousers, dress button up shirt, and if you really want to go for it, tie and coat..
2. Dont be nervious, it is easy when you are sitting in front of a Marine/Navy Officer, but he is human too
3. Be prepared to explain why you want to be a Marine/Navy Officer
4. Be prepared to explain past leadership experiences that you have had, and what you learned from them.
5. ASK QUESTIONS, think of things you want to ask, it will show the OSO that you really care about being there.
6. BE HONEST WITH YOUR OSO, if he asks you something ,TELL THE TRUTH, if there is anything you think might effect your application GOOD OR BAD, tell him/her.
7. Remember, if you dont get a scholarship you can still do NROTC, I dont have one, i have applied 3 times. and there is always OCS.
That is my advice, I interviewd for the Marine Scholarship, but I am sure the Navy side is the same.
Hope that helps,
GOOD LUCK

be confident (not cocky though)
like he said above, dress nicely
be at least 15 mins early ( I can't believe I am saying that, becuase I hate it when people say that, but in this case.)
Be prepared to talk about school, and how you think you schooling has improved your leadership.

Have an idea of what you would like to do with your career. Make the interviewer know that you understand that being an officer means being part of a team. Showing leadership positions that you have been in are important, so is being a good team member.
Remember that the interviewer is not trying to figure out if you have what it takes to be an officer right now. He should be looking to see if you have the potential to be molded into a good officer through the course of the next 4 years.

rubicon,
all the above advice is excellent. Just make sure when you are answering questions, make sure you do the whole "yes sir" or "no sir" thing. They like to see you rendering the proper respect. Also, don't hesitate to ask them about their careers and why they like the navy. Just my opinion, they like it when you ask them that kind of stuff.

Another thing to remember: make sure the interviewing officer understands that you know how important the relationship between NCOs and Officers is. Additionally, know before you go in there what you would say to the question "What makes you deserve this scholarship more than others," and "What value is most important to an officer's character".
