U.S. Service Academy Nominations The Academy Nomination
Checklist To be considered for an appointment to a Department of Defense, United States Service Academy (U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Naval Academy or West Point Military Academy), an applicant must have a nomination from an authorized nominating source. Title 10, U.S. Code, establishes two nomination categories -- Congressional and military service-connected. Applicants who meet eligibility criteria may apply for and receive nominations in both categories. Members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives may nominate applicants who meet eligibility requirements established by law. Senators nominate from applicants throughout the entire state, while Representatives nominate from applicants living in their congressional districts. Applicants may apply for and receive nominations from both of their U.S. Senators and Congressman. In fact, I encourage applicants to contact all nominating sources for which they are eligible to apply. Applicants should begin the application process spring of their junior year of high school. Applicants should contact all nominating sources as early as possible to ensure timely completion of all application deadlines. APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 27, 2006 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Basic Requirements:
Academic Requirements:
Medical Requirements:
In an effort to ensure the most objective and thorough review of all applications to the United States Military Academies, I have appointed a Merit Selection Committee (MSC) to evaluate each applicant and determine the best qualified candidates from the State of Indiana for entrance into the service academies. Those candidates chosen by the MSC in turn receive my nominations, and their names are submitted to the service academies for final review. An admissions board within each academy then determines which nominees receive actual appointments to their institutions. For more information on applying for a nomination to one or more of the United States Service Academies, contact Dawn Herring at 317-226-5555.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is the only one of the service academies that offers appointments solely on the basis of an annual nationwide competition. There are no congressional nominations. Many of the same eligibility criteria that apply to the other service academies apply to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Applicants are required to complete a four page pre-candidate questionnaire between July 1 and December 15 prior to the entrance of the new class the following July. The academy will send additional forms for the applicant to fill out by January 15. To receive information, please contact the U.S. Coast Guard Academy: U.S. Coast Guard Academy
