SERVICE ACADEMIES
Seminar Highlights Schools
Virginia's congressional delegation is holding a seminar tomorrow for young people to learn about attending a service academy after high school.
The 20th annual Academy Day will be held from 8:45 a.m. to noon at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, said Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.).
Students will be able to meet representatives from the academies.

DONATION TO COLLEGES
Admissions Advice Gets Lift
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation announced this week that it has awarded $10 million to 10 colleges and universities to help low-income students navigate the admissions process.
The foundation, based in Lansdowne, said the grants would create groups of advisers to help students apply to college and secure financial aid. Among the recipients were Loyola College in Baltimore, Pennsylvania State University and Brown University. The program is modeled after the University of Virginia's college adviser corps.
