Important Service Military Academy Nomination from Congressional Requirements

Admission to a Service Academy is a two-tiered process.

First, the candidate must apply directly through the academy of interest.

There are five (5) service academies that offer appointments to highly qualified individuals who meet eligibility requirements and are the most competitive in academic performance, physical fitness, medical standards, extracurricular involvement, leadership traits, motivation and aptitude for military service.

The second tier in pursuing admission is the Congressional nominations process. An individual must meet the admissions requirements of the Academy as well as receive a nomination in order to be offered an appointment to the Academy.

***You do not need a Congressional nomination for the United States Coast Guard Academy.
