Congressman Connie Mack’s Service Academy Day Seminar is designed for students who are interested in attending one of the nation’s U.S. service academies. The seminar will be a unique opportunity for students and parents to meet with representatives of the U.S service academies to discuss the application process, academy life, and career opportunities within the various branches of the military. Please note students of all ages, and not just high school juniors, are welcome to attend.

One of the responsibilities of Members of Congress is to nominate outstanding young men and women to the four U.S. service academies (the U.S. Coast Guard does not require a Congressional nomination). The process of securing a nomination is highly competitive -- each applicant for nomination must demonstrate evidence of integrity, exceptional scholarship, leadership, physical aptitude, and medical fitness, and strong motivation to attend an academy in order to serve as an officer in the armed services, the Merchant Marines or the Coast Guard.

Students who seek a nomination from Mack are interviewed by a nominating committee comprised of former military officers and enlisted personnel as well as community leaders from Southwest Florida. The nominating committee then objectively rates each nominee on a variety of criteria for Mack’s consideration. Mack then nominates the best applicants to each academy.
