U.S. Service Academy Open House for Iowa Students Hosted by Senator Joni Ernst
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), a combat veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced she 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.
Each student applying to a service academy must receive a nomination. In her capacity as a United States Senator, Senator Ernst has the opportunity to nominate Iowa students to the service academies.
“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,” said Senator Ernst. “Students will have the chance to talk with academy representatives and learn more about the process. I encourage our students who may be interested to join us on June 24th or August 11th to hear more about these opportunities.”
