Tour the White House
Due to high demand, the White House currently grants tours to a limited number of guests throughout the year. My staff however will be happy to assist you in making White House tour requests. White House tours are granted on a first come, first served basis. Tours are currently only scheduled on Tuesdays through Saturdays. Tour requests must be made at least 40 days in advance of the requested tour date(s). If you would like to visit during busy tour seasons (i.e. Spring Break), it is highly recommended that you submit tour requests six months in advance of the requested tour date(s). Before your request can be submitted to the White House, you must provide the following security information for everyone in your group. Every visitor, age 15 years or older, will be required to show a photo identification before being admitted. *Please make sure the submitted security information matches the information on each person's photo identification.* Please provide the following information for all visitors wishing to attend your White House tour on the White House Tour Security Information Form: • Full First Name Please email my tour coordinator, Erica Powell, at

with the White House Tour Security Information Form in an attachment.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call my office at (202) 225-4011. |
I encourage all interested students to apply for a nomination to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Students accepted receive full paid tuition and a modest living stipend. Eligible applicants must be at least 17 years old but not have passed their 23rd birthday, a U.S. citizen, unmarried and have no legal obligation to support children or other dependents.
Receiving a congressional nomination is required for admission (except for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy), but it does not guarantee admission to an academy. Academy admissions offices evaluates each candidate's high school record, class rank, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, fitness exam and moral character before making their selections.
Interested applicants must submit all required materials to Congressman Carson's office before the November 1st deadline. For more information about the nomination application process, click here.
