Please note that your application must be complete and all documents received in Senator Lieberman’s Hartford Office no later than 5:00pm, October 19, 2012.
An application file is considered complete in Senator Lieberman's office when it contains the following six (6) items:
1. Completed application for nomination: Once received, the file will be updated as soon as possible. Applicants may check their status on-line by logging into the Senator's Service Academy Nomination website. Soon after your application has been completed, you will be sent an acknowledgment.
2. Official high school transcripts: Must arrive with the application package in a sealed envelope from your guidance counselor. Official college transcripts must be issued by the appropriate office.
3. SAT and/or ACT scores. Applicants may visit the College Board website to retrieve their scores at http://sat.collegeboard.org/home. Students may do the same for the ACT at http://www.actstudent.org/. Students may request that their scores be sent directly to Senator Lieberman's office, SAT code #0237 or ACT code 7114. Due to the cost of requesting original copies, guidance counselors may submit these scores with the candidate's official transcripts.
4. Two recommendations. These letters may be written by individuals (designated by an applicant), by teachers, principals, coaches, employers, clergy, neighbors, or other non-family members who can accurately comment on an applicant's character, abilities and potential for success in an academy environment and subsequently, in military service. Each recommendation must be limited to one page. Additional letters beyond the designated two references will not be considered.
5. Signed Acknowledgment Form. Complete, sign and mail your acknowledgment form and photo page.
6. Photograph. A recent photograph of the applicant is required. Attach photo to the photo page and mail.
