U.S. Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin

South Dakotans have a long and proud tradition of service to our country. Through our nation’s service academies, young Americans have an opportunity to receive a paid education from a fine institution and graduate as commissioned officers in the United States Armed Services.

Each year, I am proud to nominate some of South Dakota’s best and brightest high school seniors to our nation’s service academies. Nominations and appointments to the academies are highly competitive, and are based on candidates’ character, scholarship, leadership ability, physical aptitude, medical fitness, goals and motivation.

You must be unmarried and without any dependents.
