For Individuals Seeking Nominations To Service Academies:

All students admitted to our nation's Service Academies must first be nominated by at least one member of their state's Congressional Delegation.

Congressman Michael Michaud is delighted to help Maine students pursue their dreams at the Service Academies. Interested individuals compete with other applicants from across the State for nominations to the following academies:

• The United States Military Academy (West Point, NY)
• The United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)
• The United States Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)
• U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (King's Point, NY)

(admission to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination)

Applicants must be:

• U.S. citizens
• legal residents of Maine (or dependents of military members who are Maine residents)
• unmarried with no children
• at least 17 years of age

All applicants should also apply directly to the academies and ask that a pre-candidate file be opened for them. In addition, all applicants are required to take the SAT or ACT. Interested individuals should contact Congressman Michaud in the spring of their junior year of High School.

Congressman Michaud bases his selections on the students' academic records, extracurricular and community activities, test scores, as well as letters of recommendation from individuals in and out of the school environment.  To apply for a nomination, please complete and print the Application For Nomination form, and send it to the address on the application.  To request an application through the mail, write or call Congressman Michaud's Lewiston Office and ask for the Nominations Coordinator.
