Each year, Members of Congress may nominate a limited number of candidates for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Students who receive a nomination are considered for appointment by the respective academy’s admissions board. “Service academies provide exceptional opportunities for young Kansans to pursue higher education while preparing to serve our country as officers in the Armed Forces,” Schmidt said. “I encourage all qualified students who are interested in military service to apply.” Applicants must be U.S. citizens, at least 17 years old but not yet 23, unmarried and without dependents. Applicants seeking nomination from Congressman Schmidt also must reside in the 2nd Congressional District. A complete application packet must be submitted to Congressman Schmidt’s Topeka office by October 15.	1	2026-04-04T05:28:40Z	2026-04-04T05:30:10Z
