The deadline to submit requests for nominations for the 2022-23 academic year to our office was January 10, 2022. Nominations are now closed, except for the US Merchant Marine Academy, which has extended its deadline for nominations to February 28th. You can still submit a request for a nomination through our office until 2 weeks prior, February 14th.

Attending a United States Service Service Academy is an honor for students and the Members who represent them. Academies provide a fully-funded education for students who commit to postgraduate service in one of the branches of our Armed Forces. Members have the special opportunity to nominate students from their district to attend one of these distinguished academies: the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Air Force Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The United States Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination. 

Admission to a service academy is a two-tiered process. The candidate must first apply through the specific Academy and meet the minimum standards for admission set by the Academy. These standards include academic, physical, and medical qualifications. The second tier to admission is the nominations process. The candidate must meet the Academy’s admissions requirements and receive a nomination to be offered an appointment to the Academy.

Congressman Nadler may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district.

Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country.
