Military Academy Nominations
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 begin this process, please review the page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Military Academy Nomination and learn about the components of a nomination package.
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. Representative Roy may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. Nominations for this year’s graduating high school seniors will be announced before Christmas 2025.
If you have completed this year's packet, you should be hearing from Anne Overby by November 1st regarding interviews in December. If not, please email her. Returning college freshman who completed a file last year need to contact Anne directly to learn how to update their information.
Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country.
