Each year, I have the privilege to nominate a select group of Arizona high school graduates for appointment to the United States Military Service Academies: the United States Air Force Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy.

Each applicant for a nomination from my office must meet the following eligibility requirements:

In addition to obtaining a nomination from a Congressman, you will need to complete a requisite admissions application with the academy, or academies, to which you are applying. You can contact each academy by using the below information:

I also want to inform constituents about the opportunity to attend the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. Unlike the academies mentioned above, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a congressional nomination. Interested applicants should visit http://www.uscga.edu/opportunity or email The Admissions Office of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for more information.
