U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul announced that his office is now accepting applications for students in Texas’ 10th district seeking a congressional nomination to a United States Service Academy.
Every year, the congressman can nominate up to 10 candidates from his district to be considered for appointment at the United States Air Force, Merchant Marine, Military, and Naval Academies.
“I am honored to nominate distinguished young men and women in Texas’ 10th Congressional District to the United States service academies,” Rep. McCaul said, “I applaud their dedication to our country as they apply for one of these prestigious universities and look forward to their bright futures.”
To be considered for an appointment, an applicant must meet the minimum admissions standards set by each individual service academy. Admission to the service academies is based on SAT/ ACT scores, class rank, physical aptitude scores, extracurricular activities, athletic abilities, medical examinations, and a panel interview.
The application process is now open on a rolling basis from April 29 until Sept. 20. For more information or to request a packet, please visit here and contact the academy nominations coordinator, Destinee Vargas, at destinee. vargas@ mai l. house. gov or (979) 431-6480.
