Military Academy Nominations

Members of Congress are able to nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. Congresswoman Jayapal may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. For more information, please review the FAQ.

All applications are due by November 11th, 2020. Please find the 2020 Military Academy application here.

Once you have completed your application, please mail it to:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal
1904 3rd Avenue Suite 510
Seattle, WA 98101

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