Military Academy Nominations

Cadet Yohance Salimu

I have nominated several young people to military academies, including Cadet Yohance Salimu, a 2011 graduate of Crenshaw High School who will be graduating from the United States Air Force Academy this year. I’m proud of all that he and the other Academy students and graduates have accomplished.

The deadline to apply to my office for military academy nomination is November 30, 2016.

Instructions

Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Service Academies.

Applying to a military academy includes all of the steps of applying to any other college, plus two extra elements: 1) gaining a nomination; and 2) demonstrating your physical fitness. YOU MUST open an application for admission to the academy as soon as possible, and meet the deadlines for submitting all pieces of your application to them. In addition, you must apply to my office for a nomination to the academy or academies where you hope to attend.

As your Representative in the 37th Congressional District of California, every year I have the privilege and responsibility of nominating talented young people to gain a top-quality college education and officer training at four of the five service academies:

The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. For more information, please review my page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Military Academy Nomination.

Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country.
