Military Academy Nominations

Students & Parents: Learn about opportunities with U.S. Service Academies.

Each year, I have the privilege of nominating a limited number of people to four of the five service academies. 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.

Are you interested in learning about the great educational opportunities at America's service academies?

Academy Day: Join us every fall for the annual Academy Day workshop. Representatives from the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. State Department, and National Guard and ROTC programs will be on hand to answer questions from prospective students and their families about educational opportunities available at one of the service academies, or through other service-related programs. Academy Day 2020 will be held virtually on Saturday, September 26, from 10am-12pm. Registration is required and the link will be sent to all registered participants 24-hours prior to the event.
