Academy Day 2024 events present opportunity to learn more about U.S. Service Academies

CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Details regarding Academy Day 2024 have been announced for students, parents, guardians, and school officials with an interest in learning more about United States service academies including the Coast Guard, Air Force, Merchant Marines, Naval, and Military/West Point.

Academy Day events will feature representatives who will be prepared to address questions with regard to the physical, educational, and recreational requirements for obtaining an ROTC scholarship or attend a U.S. service academy.

“Students who want to attend a prestigious U.S. Service Academy or ROTC program are generally more successful when they begin planning courses and extracurricular activities early in their academic career,” read a statement from the Office of U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito regarding Academy Day 2024. “The key to a student’s success (besides academic, physical, and extracurricular achievements) is being informed about potential opportunities at these educational institutions and starting the information gathering process as early as possible. It is also important that they have an informed support system to assist them in navigating the application stage.”
