ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak at the U.S. Naval Academy's graduation next month.

The academy announced Tuesday that Biden will address the class of 2015 at the school's commencement, which is scheduled for May 22 at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis.

About 1,000 students will graduate from the academy this year and become commissioned as officers. Many will be commissioned as Navy ensigns, and others will be commissioned as 2nd lieutenants in the Marine Corps.

Biden spoke at the academy's graduation in 2010.
