Service Academy Nominations
Instructions
Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Service Academies. As the Congressman for Alabama's 5th District, 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.
What documents must be included in my applicant file?
A complete file consists of the following items:
- Congressional nomination packet
- High school and, if applicable, college transcripts
- American College Testing Program (ACT) results and/or College Board Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) results
- Resume
- Essay Questions
- Three (3) completed personal recommendation forms completed by adult non-family members (e.g. teacher, counselor, employer, coach, clergy, scoutmaster)
- Current wallet-size photo

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