Military Academy Nominations
Each year I make nominations to the United States Air Force, Military and Naval Academies. These post-secondary institutions are among our nation's most challenging in higher education. In addition, all academy graduates go on to become commissioned officers in our nation's armed forces. Interested students are encouraged to seek admission.
Receiving a Congressional nomination is quite an accomplishment, however, it does not guarantee acceptance to the academies. It is important that students who are interested in seeking admission to one of the service academies, set academic and physical fitness goals now.
Nominations are made during the month of December of a prospective cadet's senior year in high school. It is never too early or too late to begin preparing for college, so I encourage all students to plan conscientiously.
Any high school student interested in attending one of the academies, or, anyone who would like to obtain additional information about the academy nomination process should contact my Essex County Office at (973)-645-3213. My office can also arrange for representatives of the academies to visit schools.
