Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) has revealed plans for the 2024 Service Academy Day, scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 6th in Merrill. The event, set to occur at the Northwoods Veterans Post from 10 AM to 1 PM, aims to provide students with valuable insights into the application process for U.S. service academies.
In a statement, Congressman Tiffany emphasized the importance of attending the Service Academy Day, stating, “Attending a Service Academy Day allows students to speak directly to representatives from each service academy and is a great way for them to get involved early with the application process.”
One student, Gabe, shared his positive experience from a previous Academy Day, saying, “I attended 2 Academy Days with Congressman Tiffany and it really helped me make my decision to want to pursue a USAFA appointment.”
The Service Academy Day event is tailored to inform students and parents residing within Wisconsin's Seventh Congressional District about the application and nomination procedures for U.S. service academies. The deadline to apply for a U.S. service academy nomination from Congressman Tiffany is Friday, September 27th at 5 PM.
During the Merrill Service Academy Day, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about nomination and application best practices, engage with Congressman Tiffany's staff, and connect with representatives from all five military branches representing their respective academies. Admission to the event is free, and individuals from various educational backgrounds are encouraged to participate.
To secure a place at one of the nation's military service academies, high school students must first receive a nomination from a member of their state's Congressional Delegation, the Vice President, or the President of the United States. Successful candidates are granted a fully funded, four-year university education and a commission as a U.S. military officer upon graduation.
High school students interested in obtaining a service academy nomination from Congressman Tiffany are advised to visit his website for further information on the application process.
The Service Academy Day event promises to be an informative and valuable opportunity for students and parents alike to learn about the prestigious U.S. service academies and the pathways to securing a nomination.
