Academy Days 2022

On Behalf of Senator Shelley Moore Capito

Last year, approx. 16 students from various WV counties (Berkeley Co., Cabell Co., Greenbrier Co., Harrison Co., Jefferson Co., Kanawha Co., Mercer Co., Mingo Co., Monongalia Co., Preston Co., Putnam Co., etc.) accepted appointments to attend U.S. service academies and prep schools! One 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. An appointment to a U.S. Service Academy is a fully funded education opportunity valued from $240,000 to more than $400,000.  

We are writing to request that you spread the word to middle and high school students that Academy Day 2022 will be held for any and all students, parents and school officials interested in learning more about U.S. service academies (Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, Military/West Point, Naval).  

We will also have representatives from local ROTC programs on hand to discuss ROTC scholarship opportunities and a representative from the Dept. of Defense’s Medical Examination Review Board will join us on Saturday, September 24, 2022 and Sunday, September 25, 2022.

Academy Day is an opportunity for students, parents, and school officials to ask questions and obtain information regarding the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy as well as the ROTC scholarship process. No Registration Required.

Students who want to attend a prestigious U.S. Service Academy are generally more successful when they begin planning courses and extracurricular activities early in their academic career. Please attend and encourage middle and high school students, parents and school officials to attend.
