Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Service Academies. As the Representative for Massachusetts' 3rd Congressional District, I have the privilege of nominating a limited number of applicants to four of the five service academies each year. 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.

In addition to applying for a nomination from my office, you MUST also apply directly to the academy of your choice. My nomination does not automatically result in selection by the service academies. The academy of your choice will make the final decision. If selected, you will receive an offer of admission (an appointment) directly from the academy.

If you have any questions about the nomination process, please contact my Veterans & Military Liaison, Jorge Morales-Lopez at jorge.moraleslopez@mail.house.gov.

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