Summer Seminar Brochure
Dear Cadets, Parent and Staff,
For any Cadets that are in 11th grade now, please consider applying to NASS (Naval Academy Summer Seminar) and the US Coast Guard AIM (Academy Information Mission) for this coming summer. You will find out what these two academies are like. The US Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Maryland and the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, are both excellent schools, and you get paid to attend them, you do not incur any monetary debt, while getting an excellent education. It is worth applying to their summer programs, which are each one week long, so that you can find out if these Academies interest you.
Read all the information below carefully. If you attend either of these summer programs, it is free, because Sea Cadets pays the cost. It also counts as a Sea Cadet training. So, give this some serious thought, and apply!
Best regards,
Lynn

Attention 8th & 9th, plus some 10th and 11th Grade apply for the Naval Academy STEM program
STEM Website
Naval Academy STEM Program Printable PDF
Below is an email from Chuck Bortell, Adam’s Blue and Gold Officer, about the expanded Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Summer Program that is offered at the Naval Academy. There is no charge for the program! It is on a scholarship basis! As you may know, 4 of our Cadets attended this program last summer and really enjoyed it. Please review the information below to see if this is something you might be interested in. As we learned last year, those who get their applications in early get preference. The actual application will not be available until early February, and we will make sure to send it to you.
Please note that the program is now open to rising 10th and 11th graders, in addition to rising 8th and 9th graders.
Best regards,
Lynn
There is NO obligation to this! However, it's a chance for superior young students to work directly with "actual, front-line college professors"; in a environment emphasizing immediate application of theoretical concepts into exercises/experiments/design projects in Math, Science, & Engineering. These projects are "hands-on"; working in superlative "labs" with design and testing equipment, which are nonpareil; plus, the renowned faculty, of course.
Maybe, you know some young (primarily, 8th & 9th, plus some 10th and 11th Grade) superior students, who might want to consider such an opportunity?
Participants stay in Bancroft Hall and dine in King Hall; just like midshipmen, who will lead them. (Hint: This is a Leadership training exercise for midshipmen, as well.) Naturally, the supervising midshipmen, are also directly managed by commissioned officers and the academic staff. Other than souvenirs and "gee-dunk" snacks, the cost is just the transportation for those lucky enough to be selected.
From looking at the superb features of the program, my hypothesis: selection standards are probably quite high from the perspective of technical academic prowess.
The STEM program Application will be available online in early February. Session I: 07-12 JUN for Rising 8th-9th Graders. Session II: 14-19 JUN for Rising 10th Graders. Session III: 21-26 JUN for Rising 11th Graders.
Eligibility: The Naval Academy Summer STEM Program is offered to rising 8th-11th Graders. Students must demonstrate superior academic performance to include GPA, class standing, and/or strong PSAT, SAT or ACT results. An achievement in athletics and extracurricular activities, in good health, have a positive attitude and good moral character are among additional selection criteria.
Tuition & Expenses: All students selected to participate will receive a full scholarship to attend the camp, which includes your room and board, meals, as well as a variety of materials. Plan on bringing extra cash for snacks and souvenirs.
Each student is responsible for arranging transportation to and from the Naval Academy. Those flying commercial air should make arrangements to arrive at Baltimore-Washington International airport (BWI) between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Day 1 of the program, and depart after 2:00 p.! m. on th e last day of the program. Buses and midshipmen escorts will be on hand to get you to and from the Academy and BWI.
2010 Summer STEM Program Sessions:
Grade Level Dates
8th & 9th June 7-12
June 14-19
