Nominations
-
To be considered for an appointment to one of United States
Service Academies an applicant must have a nomination from an
authorized nominating source. Title 10, U.S. Code, establishes two
nomination categories- congressional and military service-
connected. Applicants who meet eligibility requirements may apply
for and receive nominations in both categories.
Members of the United States Senate and House of
Representatives may nominate applicants who meet the eligibility
requirements established by law. Senators nominate from applicants
from the entire state. Representatives nominate applicants domiciled
in their congressional districts. Applicants may apply for and
receive nominations from both their United States Senators and from
their Representative. Applicants may also apply to the
Vice-President of the United States who can nominate applicants at
large. Applicants should apply to the service academy of their
choice in the spring of their junior year in high school and request
a nomination from the appropriate nominating source shortly
thereafter. To request further information regarding a congressional
nomination, please complete the
Academy
Information Request Form.
