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.
 
Members of Congress may 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.
 
Each Member may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot alloted to our district. To request a Military Academy Nomination from our office, please complete the form below.

A complete application must include 2 letters of recommendation, an official high school or college transcript, and a one-page writing sample detailing why you want to join a U.S. Service Academy. Letters of recommendation can be emailed directly to LBRserviceacademy@mail.house.gov.
