The deadline for application is November 1st. Each year, Congressman Carson is able to nominate exceptional young men and women to our nation's prestigious service academies – the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and U.S. Coast Guard Academy. These highly selective institutions offer Hoosier students an opportunity to obtain a fully funded, world-class education, while also preparing them to serve as commissioned officers in the United States Armed Forces. "For those young men and women who feel called to serve, the United States service academies provide an unparalleled opportunity to develop as leaders and give back to our country," Carson said. "I encourage all interested students to pursue a nomination and apply." Receiving a congressional nomination is required for admission (except for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy), but receiving a nomination does not guarantee admission to an academy. Academy admissions offices evaluate each candidate's high school record, class rank, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, fitness exam and moral character before making their selections. Interested applicants should contact the admissions office at the academy of their choice and must submit all required materials to Congressman Carson's office before the November 1st deadline. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:11:30Z |
