/The U.S. Public Service Academy is a national initiative to build a 
civilian counterpart to the military service academies. Modeled on the 
military academies, the proposed Academy will offer four years of 
tuition-free education in exchange for five years of civilian service 
following graduation. The initiative has earned the support of more than 
110 members of Congress and two presidential candidates, and it has been 
highlighted by Time Magazine as one of the top ten ideas the next 
president should embrace to reinvigorate civic life./
