The honor of attending one of the service academies comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the U.S. military for a minimum of five years following graduation. The application to be considered for a nomination is available on Heller\u2019s website or here. As a U.S. Senator from Nevada, Heller has the privilege of nominating a limited number of Nevadans to four of the five U.S. Service Academies: the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. A nomination is required to gain entry into a service academy, however, a nomination does not guarantee acceptance and it does not replace the admissions process for the service academies. Nevadans can also seek a nomination from their representative in the House of Representatives and U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. Applicants are required to submit an official high school transcript, SAT/ACT scores, and three letters of recommendation along with the application. Those who submit their full applications ahead of the October 31st deadline will then be contacted by Heller\u2019s office to schedule an interview with the Academy Selection Panel. More information about the nomination process including basic eligibility requirements and frequently asked questions can be found at https://www.heller.senate.gov/academy-nominations. Completed applications should be mailed to Heller\u2019s office. Nevadans living in Clark, Nye, Lincoln, and Esmeralda Counties should mail their applications to Heller\u2019s Las Vegas office and Nevadans living in all other counties should mail their application to Heller\u2019s Reno office.
