Rep. Steube and Sen. Scott Host U.S. Service Academy Fair in Sarasota

SARASOTA - U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) today hosted a U.S. Service Academy Fair at the Sarasota Military Academy. Each of the five military academies sent representatives to the event to answer questions and provide information to potential applicants.

"One of the highlights of my job is hosting the Service Academy Fair. It is inspiring to see so many young people who wish to serve their country," said Rep. Steube. "This event provides students and their families the opportunity to sit down with representatives from our prestigious military academies and learn more about the service academy nomination process. The eagerness of this generation to raise their right hands and answer the call to service is a testament to their character and patriotism."

All students interested in attending the United States Military Academy (West Point, NY), the United States Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD), the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO), or the United States Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, NY) must receive a congressional nomination. Applicants must also possess an exceptional academic background, pass a physical aptitude test, and demonstrate strong leadership potential in order to receive consideration.
