Military Academy Nominations

Each year, I have the honor of nominating fine young men and woman from CA 09 for selection to the four military service academies that require nominations. The honor of attending a military service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

Because of the large number of qualified candidates, the nomination process is extremely competitive. I encourage all applicants to apply directly to the academies and ask that a pre-candidate file be open for them.

To qualify for a military service academy, applicants must:

• Be a US Citizen and legal resident of CA 09
• Be at least 17 years old, but not older than 23 on July 1^st of the year you enter the academy.
• Have high academic standing
• Have received competitive scores on SAT or ACT
• Demonstrate leadership qualities
• Be able to pass a physical exam

Applications for the Class of 2030 are now OPEN!

Applications for nominations for Class of 2030 are due by October 31, 2025 by 5 PM PST.
