Since joining Congress, Rep. LaHood has held annual
Military Service Academy Programs in person for high school students
interested in receiving a nomination to one of the United States
Military Service Academies. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the normal
Military Service Academy Programs have been moved into an online
program.
The website, which can be
viewed here, provides students, parents, and guidance counselors
the opportunity to learn more about the individual institutions and
the requirements for admission to each academy. Service academies
offer fully-funded, four-year education that is estimated at a value
of $300,000.
“Each year, it is inspiring to meet with so many
young men and women looking for the opportunity to attend one of our
prestigious military academies and who are passionate about serving
our country. Service Academy Programs provide a great first step for
prospective cadets to learn about and prepare for the interview and
application process, including the requirements for Congressional
nomination.

"While we cannot have our normal Service Academy Program this
year, I look forward to meeting the next group of young leaders ready to build
upon the strong tradition of representation the 18th District currently holds
throughout our military academies,” said Rep. LaHood.
