If you are interested in
becoming a leader, serving your country, and receiving a high-quality education,
you may want to consider applying to one of our nation's military service academies.
The academies offer academic and intellectual growth, personal development, and
leadership training for men and women in many career fields. Graduates are commissioned
as officers in one of our armed services.
Each member
of Congress, whether in the House of Representatives or in the
Senate, can have no more than five appointees in each of the service
academies. I encourage candidates to also seek service academy
nominations from Senator
Dianne Feinstein and Senator
Barbara Boxer.
Requests for
nominations to the four national service academies should be made
in the spring of an applicant's junior year in high school.
Academy Applicants must
be:
U.S.
Citizen
Permanent
resident of the 30th District of California (Are
you a resident of the 30th District?)
At
least 17 years of age but not yet 23 as of July 1 of the year of admittance.
Unmarried
with no dependents (marriage and age requirements vary for the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy)
Permanent
residents of the 30th Congressional District who are interested
in applying for a nomination for admission to one of America's
military service academies should contact my Los Angeles office.

In addition to a nomination
from a U.S. Congressman or U.S. Senator, candidates must apply to the service
academy of their choice. Information on the academies' admission requirements
and standards can be obtained by telephoning, writing, or visiting the website
of the admissions offices of the academies.
