After closely and carefully monitoring the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 virus nationally this spring, we have regretfully made the difficult decision to cancel our much-anticipated residential summer programs, Summer Seminar and STEM Camp, for young men and women in late May and June.  

This decision was made in order to protect the health and welfare of both of our summer program attendees as well as our midshipmen, faculty, and staff who would lead each program.   It is also necessary to cancel these programs in order for the U. S. Naval Academy to safely induct the Class of 2024 and conduct training for our current midshipmen, keeping them on track to become commissioned officers in the Navy and Marine Corps.

If you were already selected for either program and paid the program fee, please be advised that you will receive an automatic refund, which we anticipate will be returned not later than April 30, 2020.

We are deeply disappointed, as many of you are, with this news.  However, our Office of Admissions staff is working hard to create new and additional outreach opportunities, including residential programs, as soon as it is safe to do so.  We ask you to stay connected in the meantime through our Admissions website at www.usna.edu/admission and social media sites on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for updates..  Additionally, our staff is available daily via live chat from the “Contact Us” chat widget on our Admissions website. 

We all look forward to talking with you in the near future.  Please stay safe and healthy during this unprecedented time.
