These seminars take place during the winter and spring intermissions between semesters each year; applicants who are accepted receive free room, board, clothing (including Academy-issue fatigues and running suits made from unstable molecules) and a $1600 stipend. They also receive free first-class travel accommodations to and from their exact place of residence; if the applicant has the means to arrive at and depart from USAES through their own means, they may receive the cash value of those travel expenses when they receive their stipend at the end of the seminar. An applicant may attend up to seven seminars upon failing to gain admission; at that time, if the applicant demonstrates any potential but still does not meet USAES standards, he or she may, upon reaching age seventeen, begin enlistment proceedings in the United States military, whereupon they will begin Basic training and Special Powers Training in one of several special training facilities for enlisted metahuman military personnel. At the successful completion of said training, the new soldier, etc. will receive a rank two grades above basic enlistment rank.
