The schools are the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Military Academy in West Point, and Naval Academy in 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.
Each service academy offers a top college education and leads to a good job in our nation's military forces. Each service will make the final selection among the nominees. Applicants must meet high leadership, physical, academic, and medical standards. The selection will be made between now and April.
