Carlsbad, CA – Army and Navy Academy congratulates the Class of 2025! This year’s graduates have been accepted to 98 unique institutions, including top universities, U.S. service academies, and all five senior military colleges, and have collectively earned more than $4.2 million in scholarships for their academic, athletic, and leadership accomplishments. With a graduating class of only 58 Cadets, this achievement is particularly significant.
“Our Cadets have truly earned the opportunities ahead of them,” said Barry Shreiar, President of Army and Navy Academy. “Their hard work, character, and perseverance reflect the core values of our institution and the impact of an environment intentionally designed around what young men need developmentally and neurologically to thrive.”
Cadets in the Class of 2025 were accepted to both U.S. Service Academies: United States Military Academy at West Point and the United States Naval Academy, as well as all five Senior Military Colleges: Texas A&M, Norwich University, The Citadel, Virginia Military Institute, and the University of North Georgia. In addition to these prestigious institutions, Cadets received offers from many of the nation’s top public and private research universities. These include the University of Southern California, New York University, Purdue University, Penn State, Rutgers, and the University of Toronto, among others.
Reflecting the Academy’s emphasis on science, technology, and aviation, Cadets also earned spots at top STEM-focused institutions such as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Virginia Tech, and Binghamton University.
