Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is hosting a Service Academy Day Sept. 18 in two locations to learn about the application and nomination process. Representatives from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and the other federal service academies will be there to answer questions. I have attached a flyer with details for the Albany location here and the Valhalla location here that you can share with your students.

 

High school and middle school students interested in attending a service academy are encouraged to attend. Congressional staff will be present to explain the nomination process. Family members, counselors, and educators are welcome. The details are as follows:

 

Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024

Students are encouraged to visit usmma.edu/admissions to learn more about the Academy. The USMMA’s digital viewbook highlights Midshipman life, sports, sailing, academic programs and majors, the unique year at sea training, and more.

 

All students at these institutions of higher education receive full tuition, room and board, and books at no cost. 

 

If you have any questions or would like to set up a Zoom session to learn more about our program, please contact our Director of Admissions CDR Mike Bedryk, USMS.
