IN BRIEF
High school students seeking a nomination to a U.S. service academy should attend U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ third Academy Day on Saturday.
The congresswoman, as well as representatives from the Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, military and naval academies, will be on hand to answer questions from students and their parents.
Representatives from the University of Arizona ROTC also will be there.
Students must apply for nomination in the congressional district where they reside, according to a news release from Giffords’ office.
If the applicants meet the high standards required by the academies, they will be offered an interview with Giffords’ academy nominating committee.
Final decisions on admissions are made by the academies.
The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Rincon High School’s Little Theater, 421 N. Arcadia Ave.
