The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. For more information, please review the page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Service Academy Nomination.
Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies:
- U.S. Military Academy (USMA) - West Point, NY
- U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) - Annapolis, MD
- U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) - Colorado Springs, CO
- 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.
Congressman Warren Davidson may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district.
Academy Information Sessions
The academies offer an “Ivy League”-level education, valued at over $400,000, that will train our future military leaders. Ideal candidates will be proven leaders with a wide variety of academics, extracurriculars, and athletic achievements. These sessions will inform students on the requirements and procedures for seeking a congressional nomination to the academies. Those who are currently juniors or older are the target for these events, but students as young as 8th grade may benefit from attending.
If you want to receive information on future academy deadlines, please complete the 2025 Packet Request Form. Any other questions may be directed to my Service Academy Coordinator, Claire Locke at Claire.Webb@mail.house.gov or 513-779-5400.
*The deadline to return all completed materials is October 31, 2025 at 5:00 P.M.
