CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., – On June 21, Rep. Mark Green announced important details regarding this year’s Military Service Academy nomination process. 

The important date to remember: All application materials due Friday, November 3rd at 5:00 PM CST.  

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.

Members may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to their district. To request a Service Academy Nomination, applicants need to complete the request form, linked here. Once the form is complete, the applicant will receive the application. 

Rep. Green said, “As a cadet on the Plain at West Point, I swore an oath to protect and defend our nation. That oath led me to a lifetime of service and drives me to this day. Tennessee’s students are the best of the best, and I know they will go on to excel in their chosen fields of study and in service to our great nation. Military Service Academies are some of the finest academic institutions in the world, immersing cadets and midshipmen in engineering, advanced robotics, cutting-edge research, and leadership. The rigorous curriculum creates leaders for life by teaching how to lead with courage, serve with honor, and strive for excellence each day. I commend every young Tennessean who feels called to serve.”
