Good afternoon -

I'm excited to announce that I will host two U.S. Service Academy Open Houses for Iowa students interested in applying to, or learning more about service academies. Academy representatives from the nation’s five service academies will be available to answer questions on the application and nomination process.

These U.S. Service Academy Open Houses give Iowa students the opportunity to learn more about serving our country while also receiving a full four-year scholarship from some of our nation’s finest institutions of higher learning. Students will have the chance to talk with academy representatives and learn more about the process. 

Students applying to a service academy must receive a nomination. In my capacity as your United States Senator, I have the opportunity to nominate Iowa students to the service academies.

I encourage our students who may be interested to join us to hear more about these opportunities.
