If you are interested in an academy and you are at least a junior, write to the admissions office and request a pre-candidate kit. You should receive general information about the Academy, specific information of admission procedures, requirements and pre-candidate questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed and returned along with a copy of the high school transcript.
To be accepted into any service academy except for the Coast Guard Academy, you must first be nominated to the school by either a U.S Senator, a U.S Representative or the Vice President of the U.S who can nominate candidates to any academy except the Merchants Marine Academy.
The Reserve Officers' Training Corps has numerous scholarships for young men and women who want to join the U.S Army, Air Force, Marines or Navy and still go to college. These scholarships pay many expenses plus a monthly salary. In return, you are required to serve active duty after you graduate. Check your local recruiting station for requirements and details or write to the ROTC officer of the colleges you are interested in. Recruiters visit Frontier Central School monthly, if you are interested in meeting with them sign-up in the Student Service Center or check the Student Service Google Classroom for visiting dates.

The ASVAB program is a FREE comprehensive career exploration and planning program that includes a multiple aptitude test battery, an interest inventory, and various career planning tools designed to help students explore the world of work.
Juniors and Seniors interested in joining the military are encouraged to sign up to take the ASVAB as this test is used by the military for job placement purposes.
Students can take this at recruitment centers, but Frontier also offers the ASVAB on an annual basis. Frontier will be offering the ASVAB here in the fall. Please see your counselor for a parent permission form in September.
