U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) is set to host four Academy Days events this September, offering West Virginia students a unique opportunity to learn about U.S. service academies and Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships. These events are designed for students, parents, and educators interested in exploring prestigious military education options.
Senator Capito plays a key role in nominating West Virginia's brightest students to the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Military/West Point, and Naval Academies. Academy Days will provide detailed insights into these opportunities and explain the application process for ROTC scholarships.
During these events, service academy admissions representatives and ROTC program representatives will be available to answer questions. Additionally, Senator Capito's staff will provide guidance on the academy nomination application process. An appointment to a U.S. Service Academy offers a fully funded education, valued between $240,000 and $400,000. Representatives from the U.S. Department of Defense's Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) will also attend the events on September 28th and 29th.
