Thank you for your interest in applying to a U.S. service academy. It's an honor to select outstanding young New Mexican students for nomination to our nation's four military academies: the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, and the U.S. Naval Academy. I'm grateful for your commitment to serving our nation.
Individuals seeking appointment to a service academy must also separately apply to each service academy to which he or she seeks to be appointed. Each academy requires the submission of a preliminary application to initiate the admissions process. Preliminary application materials are available from the academies' websites.
Every year my office hosts military service academy information nights with representatives from each service academy to field questions from prospective applicants and parents. High school students interested in attending a U.S. service academy can attend a virtual information session on Thursday, April 17th, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. MT to learn more about the nomination process and talk directly with academy representatives.
