As a Member of Congress, I am proud to nominate outstanding young candidates from the 19th District of Texas for four U.S. service academies: the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. These institutions prepare college-age Americans to be officers of the United States uniformed services.

An excellent education at one of our service academies will broaden the horizons of any young American, and open the doors to many rewarding opportunities.

For high school seniors, the deadline to apply is November 15th. If you or someone you know may be interested in attending one of these services academies, I encourage you to contact Mary Whistler in my Lubbock office at (806) 763-1611 to learn about the options available to you.
