United States Service Academies

The United States Service Academies provide an excellent opportunity for qualified students to receive a paid education and graduate as commissioned officers in the United States Armed Services. Appointments are highly competitive, with the Academies selecting candidates based on evidence of character, scholarship, leadership ability, physical aptitude, medical fitness, goals and motivation.

U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY
U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY
