Service Academy Nominations

Service Academy Nominations

As a Member of the United Congress, I have the honor and privilege of nominating several outstanding young men and women for acceptance into our nation’s military academies.

Our service academies consist of the US Military Academy, US Naval Academy, US Air Force Academy, US Merchant Marine Academy and US Coast Guard Academy.

If you are a resident of Florida’s Fifteenth Congressional District, between the ages of 17 and 23 (25 for the Merchant Marine Academy), a US citizen and are single with no dependents, you can seek a nomination to one of the four academies through my office.

You can start the application process as early as the spring of your high school junior year. To begin the process, request a nomination by writing my Florida office:

Congressman Bill Posey
Attention: Service Academy Nominations
2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C
Melbourne, FL 32940

Be sure that you include your address and telephone number so that the nomination committee can contact you. Upon receipt of your request, a member of the nominating committee will contact you by telephone. After the initial telephone interview, an application packet will be sent to you. The completed packet must be submitted to the Congressman’s office no later than November 15, 2012.

The application to compete for a nomination must include your SAT/ACT scores, an official high school transcript, an essay, three letters of recommendation (special forms will be provided and must be used), a photograph and a thorough listing of your extracurricular activities. The application packet will include the deadline for submission of the packet and the date for the interview.
