SERVICE ACADEMIES
While all juniors should begin exploring possible educational programs following graduation, those interested in the Service Academies and the R.O.T.C. scholarship programs must begin as soon as possible to insure that they receive full consideration.
SATs should be taken by May of the junior year. Open houses can be visited during the summer.
The first step in securing an appointment to one of the academies is to request a Pre-Candidate questionnaire. Addresses follow:

The second step is to write to each of your senators and your congressman and ask that they consider you as one of their nominees.
In this letter you should indicate your first, second, third, and fourth choices for academies as well as:
Name, address, and telephone number
