Each year I have the honor of nominating outstanding young Nevadans to attend one of our nation's four military service academies. My office selects nominees based on the recommendations of a Service Academy Selection Advisory Panel that interviews and evaluates qualified candidates. You must also notify the academies of your interest in applying. Complete your file at the academies in which you are interested and keep your file up to date. For more information about the academies, visit their sites:


U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD
U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY

 
How to be Nominated to a Service Academy:

If you are interested in applying for one of my nominations to a service academy, contact my office in the spring of your junior year. You will be required to submit the following:

  • An application form (available online or at my state offices),
  • An official sealed high school transcript,
  • The official results of your SAT or ACT exam
  • Three letters of recommendation (from teachers, school administrators, counselors, or coaches).
All the required information must be received in my office no later than November 1. All completed files will be reviewed and candidates will be notified of their interview appointments. Those candidates selected for nomination to a service academy will be notified by mail before December 31. You can submit your information to, or receive additional information from, the appropriate state office:
