Service Academy Nominations
I have the great honor as Senator to nominate a select few of Massachusetts' best and brightest students to serve our country by attending one of our service academies: the US Military Academy at West Point, the US Naval Academy, the US Air Force Academy and the US Merchant Marine Academy.
The men and women who attend our service academies receive a top-notch education while preparing for careers of military service and beyond. To be considered for a spot at a service academy, each student must receive an official nomination from either a US Senator or a member of the US House of Representatives.
As a Senator, I am only allotted a few nominating spots each calendar year. If you are interested in receiving a nomination, please complete the application by following the link below. Applications are due by October 31st, 2014. Each application will be reviewed by my nominating committee. Applicants may be asked to conduct an in-person interview. The nominating committee will make final recommendations. Nominations will be announced by January 31, 2015.
