Service Academy Appointments

The U.S. Service Academies are four-year post-secondary institutions that combine educational excellence with military officer training. Students accepted to the academies receive a four-year education in return for a service commitment to the active-duty military after graduation.

To be considered for admission, students must receive a congressional nomination from either their U.S. Representative or a U.S. Senator. Additionally, students are expected to meet the highly competitive educational, extracurricular, physical aptitude and medical standards that are set by the service academies. 

Your completed original application with ALL components MUST be received by my District Office staff by Friday, October 5, 2018 at 5:00 p.m.

Faxed or scanned copies will not be accepted.

Deadline for submission of completed nomination packets for the 2018– 2019 school year is October 5, 2018. Once a completed packet has been submitted for review, applicants will be notified electronically of their status.
