U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis is extending an invitation to local middle and high school students and their parents to participate in an upcoming U.S. Service Academy Night. The event will showcase presentations by each of the five U.S. Service Academies and provide valuable information about the Congressional nomination process and how to prepare for a successful appointment.

In a statement, Congressman Gus Bilirakis emphasized the importance of Service Academies, stating, "Service Academies offer an elite education to the best and brightest students who are ready to make a commitment to serve their country in the Armed Forces." He highlighted that these institutions play a crucial role in developing young men and women into professional officers.

The Service Academy Night aims to equip participants with essential knowledge about the unique learning opportunities offered by the academies. Attendees will also receive information about Academy prep schools, ROTC scholarship opportunities to universities like USF, and military institutes.

Guidance counselors, mentors, coaches, JROTC staff, and other school officials are encouraged to join the event alongside students and parents. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathways available for students interested in pursuing a career in the Armed Forces.
