Thinking about a military or service academy?

Hello V Form -

If you are even playing with the idea of applying to West Point, the Naval
Academy, the Air Force Academy or the Coast Guard Academy, now is a good
time to take some initial steps. Each of these have summer programs that
are both a terrific way of learning whether an academy is right for you
and can help you in the application process. Check out these programs at:

http://admissions.usma.edu/MoreInfo/summer.cfm (Dates: 5/30-6/5, 6/6-12).

http://www.uscga.edu/display.aspx?id=2942 (7/6-12, 7/13-19, 7/20-26).

http://www.academyadmissions.com/admissions/summerseminar/ (6/3-7, 6/9-13,
6/15-19).

Summer program tuition is subsidized - $350. (As you might know, if you
attend a military academy you pay no tuition, and are committed to serving
several years of active duty after you graduate.)

Also, when we return on January 9th, Maj. Bray from the Air Force Academy
will be meeting in Room 18 at 6:30 PM with anyone interested.

Thanks,

The college counselors
