Academy Nominations

Applicants must directly contact the academies to open an admissions file.  The academy will return to you their Candidate Kit or Application Packet with specific instructions for their admissions process.

The Congressional nomination materials ARE SEPARATE FROM the materials you must provide to the academies.  It is to your advantage to apply to more than one academy.
