Congressman Harris will nominate some of the finest students from Maryland\u2019s First Congressional District for appointments to the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force, and Merchant Marine Academies. The Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination, though Congressman Harris will recommend interested applicants on a case-by-case basis.\n\nAdmission 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. 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 October 24, 2022. All qualified residents of Maryland\u2019s First District are encouraged to apply. Interviews will be conducted in the fall by Congressman Harris\u2019 Military Academy Review Board, which is made up of veterans and reservists of the United States military. The Service Academies will be notified of Congressman Harris\u2019 nominations by December 31, 2022.\n\nStudents can complete the nomination application at https://harris.house.gov/services/military-academy-nominations.
