Academies accept applications on a rolling basis, beginning in September. Final acceptance is also contingent upon receiving a nomination from an authorized source, such as one\u2019s Congressman or Senator.\n\nThe deadline to apply for a nomination from Congressman Harris is November 1, 2024. All qualified residents of Maryland\u2019s First District are encouraged to apply.
