Service Academy Nominations
The deadline has passed to request an application for an academy nomination for the class entering an academy in July 2012. Beginning March 1, 2012 you will be able to start the application process for an academy nomination for the class entering an academy in July 2013.
All students admitted to our nation's military Service Academies must first be nominated by at least one member of their state's Congressional Delegation.
Senator Bennet is committed to help Colorado students pursue their dreams at one of the military Service Academies. Interested individuals compete with other applicants from across the State for nominations to the following academies:
- The United States Military Academy
(West Point, NY) - The United States Air Force Academy
(Colorado Springs, CO) - The United States Naval Academy
(Annapolis, MD) - U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
(King's Point, NY)
(Admission to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination)
Applicants must be:
- U.S. citizens
- legal residents of Colorado (or dependents of military members who are Colorado residents)
- unmarried with no children
- at least 17 years of age (but not past their 23rd birthday on July 1 of the entry year)
All applicants should also apply directly to the academies and ask that a pre-candidate file be opened for them. In addition, all applicants are required to take the SAT or ACT. Interested individuals should contact Senator Bennet in the spring of their junior year of High School.
