Thank you for your interest in obtaining information about receiving a nomination for an appointment to one of the four U.S. Service Academies. I applaud your ambition to pursue your education and the obvious dedication to our country that has inspired you to seek this appointment. If you have further questions regarding the application process, please contact my Charleston office at 304-342-5855. 

As you may or may not be aware, Members of Congress are limited in the number of nominations that they can submit each year. I will consider each candidate for a nomination to fill vacancies to selected academies. Academy officials have the responsibility to appoint selected nominees based on their competitive evaluation. I am pleased to provide my application and checklist online for your convenience. All required information must be submitted by October 7th.

There are three ways to submit your application:  through my online application, through email or fax, or in person to one of my offices.
