Big Future is a free website with a step-by-step approach that helps with the college planning process for students and families.  You can find the best college matches based on what matters to you most (type of school, location, majors, financial aid available, sports, etc.)  You'll get instant college matches (access to nearly 4,000 two- and four-year colleges and universities) and then you can explore those colleges more in depth.  You can also see if you're on track to meet the colleges' requirements. 

There are five service academies in the United States.  Four of the academies require a nomination from an authorized nominating source.  Each academy offers young men and women a FREE college education at a highly-ranked, nationally-recognized academic program while preparing them for an officer's commission in the armed forces. The academies are:

  • U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado

  • U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York

  • U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York

  • U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland

  • The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecticut is the only one that does not require a Congressional nomination.  Visit each service academy's website for additional information.
