Congressman Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) will be hosting a Service Academy Night in Los Alamitos to offer an opportunity to interested students, parents, counselors, and school officials to learn more about the United States Service Academies. Each Academy offers young men and women a free college education at a highly-ranked, nationally recognized university program while preparing them for an officer’s commission in the armed forces.
Entrance to four of the five U.S. service academies–West Point (Army), Annapolis (Navy), Colorado Springs (Air Force), and Kings Point (Merchant Marine)–requires nomination by a Member of Congress or the Vice-President. The United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, does not require a nomination. You can find out more about the Congressional nomination process on the Congressman’s website at http://lowenthal.house.gov.
The event will be held at the Los Alamitos Unified School District Board Room at 10293 Bloomfield St., Los Alamitos on Tuesday, May 31, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Representatives from each of the academies will be on hand to talk to attendees.
