WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) announced she will host four Academy Days this fall for West Virginia students interested in learning more about admissions to the U.S. Service Academies and ROTC scholarships. Members of Senator Capito’s staff will be available at each event to provide information on academy nominations.

“One of my most important responsibilities as a U.S. Senator is nominating young men and women for admissions to our country’s service academies,” Senator Capito said. “My Academy Days are a great opportunity for young West Virginians to explore the possibility of attending our nation’s most prestigious academic institutions. I am proud to host these events throughout West Virginia for our future leaders of America and hope students will attend to find out more about the tremendous opportunities our U.S. Service Academies can offer.”

During each event, admissions representatives from the following U.S. Service Academies will be on site to answer questions: Air Force, Coast Guard, Military (Army), and Naval Academies, while information will also be available from the Merchant Marine Academy.
