<p>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.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I am curious as to your son’s acceptance of a low SAT score -
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?</p>
