The schools are the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Military Academy at West Point, and Naval Academy at Annapolis. Students who are accepted into the academies and perform satisfactorily are offered a free, four-year college education leading to a Bachelor of Science degree and commission as an officer in the military services after graduation.
Students also receive a stipend while attending school.
