Capito Announces Fall 2024 Academy Days

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) announced she will host four Academy Days this month 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 bright West Virginians for admission to our nation’s prestigious service academies, and it is a task that I look forward to every year. I encourage all West Virginia students, parents, and educators interested in learning more about this incredible opportunity to attend one of my Academy Days this fall,” Senator Capito said . “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 Naval Academies or obtain an ROTC scholarship.”

During the events, various service academy admissions representatives and local ROTC scholarship program representatives will be available to answer questions. Additionally, members of Senator Capito’s staff will be available to provide information regarding the senator’s academy nomination application process. An appointment to a U.S. Service Academy is a fully funded education opportunity valued from $240,000 to more than $400,000. A representative from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) will attend the September 28th and 29th events.
