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 opportunities at the U.S. service academies and available Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships.
“One of my most important responsibilities as a U.S. Senator is nominating young West Virginians for admissions to our nation’s service academies, and it is one that I look forward to every year. I encourage all West Virginia students, parents, and educators interested in learning more about this incredible and prestigious opportunity to attend one of the Academy Days this fall. Doing so will provide them—and their families—with a better understanding of what it means to attend the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Military/West Point and the Naval Academy, and obtain an ROTC scholarship,” Senator Capito said.
During the events, various service academy admissions representatives and local ROTC scholarship programs representatives will be available to answer questions, and members of Senator Capito’s staff will provide information regarding her academy nomination application process. A representative from the Dept. of Defense’s Medical Examination Review Board will attend the September 24th and 25th events.
