GLENDALE -- Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Glendale) is urging qualified high
school seniors to apply to a U.S. Military Academy and possibly qualify
for a free college education.
Members of Congress, including Schiff, nominate a limited number of
students from their district to the four military academies.
Schiff, who represents the 27th Congressional District, has assembled
a panel of community members with military experience that will interview
each candidate in December for academy consideration.
If selected for an appointment, students will receive a full four-year
scholarship and a commission as a military officer after graduation.
Applications are due by Nov. 9, and students between 17 and 22 can
apply. Applications must include SAT test scores, letters of
recommendation and a personal essay.
