For Our Youth
My office can assist parents and students as they prepare for their future. I can nominate applicants from the 15th District to one of our nation's military academies - the Air Force Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, Naval Academy, or the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (the Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination.) Prospective nominees should be between the ages of 17 and 22 and are advised to apply at least one year prior to entry into an academy.

Congressional internships are also available in the District offices and the Washington, D.C. office. To be considered for an internship, please forward a letter of intent with a resume to either the Lehigh Valley or Washington, D.C. office.
