Academy Nominations

Now, more than ever, our country needs bright young men and women in leadership positions throughout the United States Armed Forces. The service academies — U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy — provide students interested in military careers the opportunity to pursue a top-notch education.
 
If you are interested in attending one of the service academies and are a resident of the Fifth Congressional District of Kentucky, you may apply for a nomination from Congressman Hal Rogers. Applications must be received by November 30th to be considered for a nomination for the following school year.
 
Each student’s file in Congressman Rogers’ office should contain:
 
1. Completed application form.
2. Completed recommendation form submitted by your high school guidance counselor or principal.
 
3. Official transcript of your high school record which includes class rank. The transcript must show your final junior grades and numerical class rank (percentile ranks are not acceptable).
