Academy Nominations
For students interested in applying to one
of the service academies, our office may be able to provide
nominations to those who qualify. These academies include:
An individual can obtain a fully paid college
education at any of five U.S. service academies. Appointments
to the Coast Guard Academy are made on a nationwide competitive
basis. Individuals can be considered for an appointment to
one of the other four academies by first competing for a
Congressional Nomination.
