Academy Nominations

Members of Congress have the privilege of recommending a select group of individuals for admission to the United States Service Academies:  Army, Navy, Air Force, and Merchant Marine.  I invite students interested in applying for a congressional nomination to contact my Oklahoma City office in the spring of their junior year.  Note: You must be a constituent of the Fifth Congressional District in order to apply for an appointment through Congresswoman Fallin.

An applicant for a nomination must meet the following eligibility requirements as of July 1 of the year of admission to a service academy.  He or she must be at least 17 years old, but not have passed the 23rd birthday, must be a United States Citizen, and must be unmarried, not pregnant, and have no legal obligation to support children or other dependents.

Please contact my Oklahoma City office at (405) 234-9900 for information and an application to apply for a nomination to the U.S. Service Academies.   As competition for nomination and appointment is very keen, it is wise for all interested students to apply to both United States Senators from the applicant’s state, his or her United States Representative, and the Vice President (if very highly qualified) and for all Academies in which they have a real interest.  An individual may be nominated by more than one nominating authority and/or to more than one Academy. 

In addition to a nomination from a U.S. Congressman or U.S. Senator, candidates must apply to the service academy or academies of their choice.  Information on the academies’ admission requirements and standards can be obtained by contacting the admissions offices of the academies.
