Since 1802, many of America's finest students have sought to enroll as cadets or midshipmen at the nation's prestigious United States service academies. To apply to attend the Naval, Military, Air Force or Merchant Marine Academies, students must receive a nomination from one of their Members of Congress. Applicants must be at least 17 years old and no more than 22 years old as of July 1st of the year of admission to a service academy.
The nomination application for the Class of 2029 is now open. It can be accessed here. Please see this checklist for more application information. If you have any questions regarding service academy nominations, please contact Katie Fellows, my Director of Service Academy Nominations, at kathryn_fellows@king.senate.gov.
The Maine congressional delegation will be hosting its next Service Academy Night, in conjunction with Maine Maritime Academy, in Bangor next April. Interested high school students and their families can learn more about the world-class educational opportunities that service academies offer as well as the congressional nomination and academy selection processes. More details about the event will be posted here in March.
Please contact academies directly to obtain catalogs and other specific information.
