The Academy does not “send” anyone to your graduation - you request or offer your BGO to attend and present your appointment. In a situation for NAPS/foundation your BGO will make the call as to if it is appropriate.

For a young man year before my son who went to USMA’s foundation program, his BGO equivalent did attend the awards ceremony, and presented his “scholarship.”

Make sure it is important to your son - not just for you. My son did not want to have his Appointment presented at his awards for various reasons.

I am curious as to your son’s acceptance of a low SAT score -

Now I am wondering if he should still be applying for his NROTC schools? NROTC is waiting for a new math score, which would mean HOURS of study which he is not motivated to do now,(especially after the admissions guy at USNA said no…)

Taking the “easy road” and not following through on something that should be important, especially for other applications, is not a quality that will get you very far at USNA. Will he settle for "c’s at NAPS or will he strive and work harder for the A and B which do not matter since above a C average gets you to USNA anyway?
