Service Academy Nominations

As a Member of Congress, I have the honor of nominating qualified VA-02 high school students 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, does not require a Congressional nomination. 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.

To request a Military Academy Nomination from our office, please complete the form below. After this preliminary form is completed, please mail or hand deliver the application to my Virginia Beach District Office. Applications are due by October 25, 2024.

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

Number your preference (1 to 4) of Academies - with 1 being your highest preference. Use 0 to indicate "no interest".

An appointment to the Service Academies is based on a desire by the candidate to devote a lifetime of military service and implies recognition by the appointee of an obligation to the government to devote himself / herself to a military career.

Are you interested in an appointment on that basis?(optional)

Is it okay to use your name in a press release after receiving an appointment?(optional)
