Military Academy Nominations
MILITARY ACADEMY SUMMER PROGRAMS
Attending a summer program at one of the United States military academies can offer a unique experience for students who are considering applying to a service academy. Students can be selected to spend a week at one of the Armed Forces academies to stay on grounds for a week and participate in training and activities similar to those of incoming cadets or midshipmen. Service academy summer programs are a great opportunity to learn and strengthen the resumes of young men and women who are interested in a military service career.
