Service Academy Nominations

As a Member of Congress, I have the great opportunity to nominate a few of North Dakota's most talented and skilled young individuals to attend the United States Military Academies:

U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland
U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York
U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado
U.S. Merchant Marines Academy, Kings Point, New York

These academies allow young individuals to serve our country while receiving a quality education. A full four-year scholarship is provided along with the opportunity to serve the United States.

Upon the acceptance of appointment into an Academy, a student commits to five years of active duty service after graduation. The application process of the appointments must be completed by November of the year before the class enters the academy.

Qualifications include:

  • a male or female between the ages of 17 and 23 by July 1 of the year of entry
  • must be unmarried and have no legal requirement to provide support to a dependent
  • must be a resident of North Dakota

Other items taken into consideration are scholastic exam scores, class rank, extracurricular activities, athletics, and physical examinations. Selection is determined on an individual basis.

If you are interested in applying and would like more information please contact Pam Mohl in Senator Conrad's office in Fargo. The toll-free number is 800-223-4457.
