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 admission to U.S. service academies and available ROTC scholarships. Members of Senator Capito’s staff will be available at each event to provide information on academy nominations.
“As a U.S. Senator, one of my most important responsibilities is nominating young West Virginians for admission to our nation’s service academies,” said Senator Capito. “Academy Days are a great opportunity for students to explore the possibility of attending one of several prestigious academic institutions and meet with admissions representatives. I hope students and their families will attend these events throughout West Virginia.”
During each event, admissions representatives from these academies will be available to answer questions: Air Force, Coast Guard, Military/Army, Naval and Merchant Marine. Representatives from local Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship programs will also discuss program details with prospective students and their families.
