What is the cost of a college education from a Military Academy ?

The four branches of the US military operate their own service academies. They are all four-year institutions. Competition to get into these schools is highly competitive. Students become commissioned officers immediately upon graduation. Those who are accepted get full scholarships and a small monthly allowance.
