District Project Requests
Water Quality and Flood Protection
Every several years, Congress adopts a new version of the Water Resource Development Act. This expansive legislation authorizes new Army Corps of Engineers projects across the United States, ensuring that they are eligible to receive annual appropriations funding at a later date. This year, I have submitted two projects on behalf of the City of Indianapolis, which will improve water quality and expand flood protection.

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.
