Representative Rosendale Initiates Application Process for Service Academy Nominations

Press Release

Today, Representative Rosendale initiated the application process for Montana's service academy nomination process. Each year, members of congress have the privilege of nominating top-talent to pursue this prestigious opportunity.

Our service academies are esteemed institutions; being afforded the opportunity to attend one is a distinct honor. As a member of congress, Representative Rosendale has the privilege of assisting in this process by nominating our state's most qualified applicants. Four of the five U.S. service academies require congressional nominations: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

Given the competitive nature of the service academy appointment process, candidates are encouraged to submit a comprehensive application that highlights their academic, civic and athletic abilities, along with their commitment to the military service. A complete list of required documents can be found at rosendale.house.gov.

To qualify for a potential nomination, applications must be received by November 1, 2021.
