The four Service Academies at West Point, New York (Army); Annapolis, Maryland (Navy and Marine Corps); Colorado Springs, Colorado (Air Force); and New London, Connecticut (Coast Guard), offer an outstanding education and full four-year scholarships. Tuition, books, board, and medical and dental care are all fully paid for all four years -- and those who attend get paid a monthly stipend as well. The competition to get in is fierce. Admissions criteria include:

High school academic performance

Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT)

Athletics and extracurricular activities

Leadership experience and community involvement

A congressional letter of recommendation

Most graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree and a leadership job as an officer in the Military. There is a minimum service obligation of five years, but most academy graduates make the Military their career. Graduates achieve a level of academic and personal excellence few others can hope to approach.
