Van Epps is honored to announce that applications for Service Academy nominations are now open. The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment. Rep. Van Epps with U.S. Naval Academy nominees Rep. Van Epps said, “As a proud graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, I understand the hard work and determination needed to apply and attend the service academies. Although it is no easy task, my time at West Point is one of my greatest accomplishments, and it truly prepared me to understand the fight for freedom. I wish each applicant the best of luck throughout this process.” The deadline to apply is Thursday, October 30th, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. For more information about the nomination process, visit Rep. Van Epps’ Service Academy FAQ page here, or you can call his Franklin District office at (629) 223-6050. | 1 | 2026-07-08T07:27:19Z | 2026-07-08T07:28:28Z |
