ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Acceptance to one of the U. S. Service Academies requires a Congressional or Service
Connected Nomination. Congressman Silvestre Reyes has organized the Academy Advisory
Committee to assist him in awarding nominations to the U.S. Service Academies. The
Committee will carefully evaluate each applicant's qualifications, including the legal
domicile, to confirm that the applicant is domiciled within the boundaries of his
congressional district. This committee will consider evidence of character, scholarship,
leadership, physical aptitude, medical fitness, goals and motivation in determining each
applicant's overall qualifications, and then recommend who should receive nominations.
Upon approval by your Congressman, the nominations are forwarded to the respective service
academies. Each service academy then determines which of the nominees will be offered an
Appointment (offer of admission).
The Congressman has included an active, qualified Admissions
Field Force member from each service academy in his Academy Advisory Committee. Applicants
are encouraged to contact any of these Admissions Field Force members for information
regarding the application process. In addition, all applicants are encouraged to log on to
each service academy web site for more detailed information about each academy. Click on
"Contacts" to get information on the Service Academies
and their local Admissions representatives.
Again you are reminded to seek every Nomination to which you are entitled! Also maximize
your opportunities by applying to EVERY Academy. You never know which one is looking for
