For those I have not met yet, I am the US Naval Academy Liasson Officer (aka "Blue and Gold Officer") for your school.
I am writing to inform you about a unique summer opportunity that is open to "rising seniors" (this years' 11th graders). The Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS) applications go online at the website above at midnight Annapolis time 1 February (11:00 pm 31 January CST). Applicants will open the website and click on "Programs and Events" to find a link to the application. Applicants will need a current PSAT or SAT score. This program is a unique opportunity to visit one of the finest educational institutions in the country. The applicant and his family are responsible for transportation to BWI Airport. The rest of the program is free. This is a very competitive program so being early will show some initiative. Please pass student contact information on to me if you have a student that wishes to apply.
If you know a student who has expressed an interest in a service academy or an ROTC scholarship, this might be right up their alley. Service academy appointees are typically academically competitive, involved in school and community activities and demonstrate a high level of physical fitness and aptitude. Sometimes a word or suggestion from a teacher or counselor can stimulate interest. I will be in contact with you at the beginning of next school year concerning college fairs and Admissions Office programs in our area. Please feel free to contact me at any time concering service academy applications and appointments.
Thanks and GO NAVY!
