I'm considering applying to the US Naval Academy but want to know if there's an application fee. If there is, how much is it? Any information on how the fee is paid would be helpful.
No, there is no application fee for the United States Naval Academy, so you can apply without worry of additional costs. The application process is unique to that of typical colleges and it consists of two parts: the first part is a preliminary application which is required to determine if you meet the basic eligibility requirements. This part of the application does not cost anything. If you clear the eligibility screening, you will be given instructions on how to complete the second part of the application which is also free.
The second part of the process is more detailed and includes medical and physical evaluations, personal interviews, and in some cases, a nomination from a member of Congress. Remember, being accepted into a service academy is a big decision and commitment. Best of luck with your application.
