Milledgeville, GA – Congressman Jody Hice (GA-10) today
announced that he will host his annual Service Academy Day on Saturday, August
19th on the campus of Georgia Military College. The event
is designed to familiarize students with the application and nomination process
for the nation’s five military service academies. Students in grades
eight through twelve are invited to attend. The event will take place
from 1:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the Goldstein Center for the
Performing Arts Auditorium, where representatives from the United States Air
Force, Naval, Military, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine Academies will discuss
their requirements for admittance.
“The United States Service Academies award some of the
largest and most prestigious scholarships in the country,” said
Congressman Hice. “Students who earn an offer of appointment receive a
top-tier education, room and board, pay, and exclusive benefits and
training. What’s more, these young men and women become commissioned
officers immediately upon graduation. I can think of no higher honor for
Georgia’s 10th District students, and each year, I am proud to
congratulate the elite group of leaders who attend a United States Service
Academy.”
All students admitted to our nation’s military service academies
must first receive a nomination from at least one member of their state's
Congressional Delegation, the Vice President, or the President of the United
States. Students who are seeking Congressman Hice’s nomination should
submit a completed application to his Monroe District Office by October
13, 2017. To access the application and learn more about the nomination
process, visit Congressman Hice’s website at http://hice.house.gov/constituent-services/serviceacademynominations.htm or
