TOMORROW – Rep. Crane Invites Arizonans To Join Virtual Service Academy Day

Tomorrow, the Arizona delegation will host a Virtual Service Academy Day to provide information about the application process for U.S. Service Academies. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) encourages students, parents, coaches, and school counselors to take advantage of the online seminar.

The program runs from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MST and will be conducted via Zoom.

Apart from the event, students may also apply for a congressional nomination for appointment to four of the five U.S. Service Academies:

  • The U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY
  • The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD
  • The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO
  • The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

"If you're a student in Arizona and interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy, I encourage you to join tomorrow's Virtual Service Academy Day. The online seminar will provide important details about the application process," said Rep. Crane. "Additionally, my office may nominate up to fifteen individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. All students are welcome to apply, and it's an honor to help with the process."
