Prep Schools
There are two types of students who attend the Prep Schools,- MMI, NMMI, NWP, ect. Free Agents and sponsered students. The free agents are paying their own way to attend and the sponsered students have received a scholarship from a SA.
The SA all offer scholarships to outstanding students in areas of athletics or scholar/leaders. For example, the USAFA offers 50 to 60, depending on the year, Falcon Scholarship awards that are worth about $6000 to attend a Prep school of their choice or schools that may be outlined, outside of USAFAPS programs. USMA has similar programs offered to carefully selected students who show promise but may score too high for USMAPS. The Associates Of Graduates, AOG, selects promising students that have been recommended by WP admissions. Again, depending on the year 40 to 50 scholarships are awarded with a worth of $3000. There is also Civil Preparatory Scholarship that is very selective. These scholarships general are worth $3000 and the school that is selected mirrors the scholarship. The remaining amount is usually paid by the student or can apply for other scholarships to cover the remaining costs. Generally the Civil Scholarships are given to the school that makes contact to the student to see if they are interested in taking advantage of the offer or the student has list to make a choice. Generally the student needs to polish up his ACT/SAT scores a few points.
The Prep Schools are all different and all are execellent. It depends on which you feel more comfortable with. Now is the time to check them out.
