WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) announced she will host four Academy Days this September for West Virginia students interested in learning more about opportunities at the U.S. service academies and available Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships.
“I encourage all West Virginia students, parents, and educators interested in learning more about this incredible opportunity to attend one of my Academy Days throughout September. Doing so will provide them, and their families, with a better understanding of what it means to attend the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Military/West Point, and Naval Academies, or obtain an ROTC scholarship,” Senator Capito said.
During the events, various service academy admissions representatives and local ROTC scholarship program representatives will be available to answer questions and members of Senator Capito’s staff will provide information regarding her academy nomination application process. The Department of Defense’s Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) will present on September 27th and September 28th, 2025. An appointment to a U.S. Service Academy is a fully funded education opportunity valued from $240,000 to more than $400,000.
