Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C. - Governor Pat McCrory is partnering with our state's U.S. senators and representatives to raise awareness among young North Carolina students about the rewarding educational opportunity available through attendance at one of our nation's Service Academies.

    The governor and several members of North Carolina's congressional delegation will be hosting Service Academy Day information sessions throughout the state for high school students and their families highlighting information on how to apply for the US Military Academy in West Point, NY; the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD; the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO; and the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. In addition, young scholars may compete for slots at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT.

    "For those who apply for and are selected for one of our service academies, I thank you in advance for your service to our nation and for the sacrifices you and your families will be making for all of us," Governor McCrory said. "After your long and distinguished military careers that may take you to the far reaches of our globe, I hope you'll plan to return to North Carolina, the greatest state in the greatest country in the world."

    U.S. senators and representatives nominate students in their districts to attend our nation's service academies each year. Information sessions are open to any high school students interested in applying.
