Tiffany to host Service Day Academy in Merrill

MERRILL – U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) will hold his 2025 Service Academy Day in Merrill next month.

The event will be held at Northwoods Veterans Post, 601 Johnson St., Merrill, on Saturday, July 12, from 9:30 a.m. (registration time) to 1 p.m.

A release from Tiffany’s office said Service Academy Days are designed to familiarize students and parents who reside within Wisconsin's Seventh Congressional District with the application and nomination processes for each of the U.S. service academies. 

Students will have the opportunity to learn best practices when seeking a nomination to a service academy from members of Congressman Tiffany’s staff, as well as representatives from all five military branches, according to the release.

Parents, teachers and students at any grade level are welcome to attend, free of charge.

 
“All high school students admitted to our nation's military service academies must first receive a nomination from at least one member of their state's Congressional Delegation, the Vice President or the President of the United States,” the release stated. “Accepted students receive a fully funded, four-year university education and a commission as a U.S. military officer upon graduation.”

The release said high school students seeking Congressman Tiffany's service academy nomination should visit www.tiffany.house.gov/services/service-academy-nominations to access the application and learn more about the nomination process. 

The deadline to apply for a service academy nomination from Tiffany is Friday, Sept. 26 at 5 p.m.

“It is my honor to invite all students in the Seventh District who are interested in serving in our nation’s military to attend my Service Academy Day,” Tiffany stated. “It is a great opportunity to get firsthand insight into both the application and nomination processes.”
