Summer Coast Guard Adventure Opportunity
Students interested in serving their country are encouraged to consider participating in the AIM program (Academy Introduction Mission). It is available to students between their junior and senior year of high school.
This summer adventure (in July) provides the opportunity to explore technical degree programs and help humanity. During six action-packed days, participants are immersed in Coast Guard tradition and Academy life with cadet leaders in the engineering lab, on the playing fields, on the parade grounds and on the water.
Participants study, compete and create. Test their mind, body and spirit as they build lasting friendships with students from around the nation!
To learn more and apply go to www.uscga.edu/AIM. Application deadline is April 1st, 2024.
