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 1st 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.
