All completed applications must be received at his Janesville Constituent Services Center by October 15, 2014. Evaluations will be based on a number of factors including SAT or ACT scores, class rank, grade point average, school records, extracurricular activities, leadership potential, motivation, recommendations, and interviews. “The academies are known for providing a top-quality education as well as preparing graduates for leadership in both military and civilian life. Young people who want to study hard and serve our country should consider applying to a U.S. service academy,” Ryan said. All applicants to a U.S. service academy must have a nomination from an authorized nominating source. Members of Congress can nominate candidates, as can the President, the Vice President, and the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Students seeking a nomination from Ryan should contact the office by calling toll-free 1-888-909-7926. Nomination forms are available on his website at: /academynominations. For the class entering in 2015, completed application forms must reach the Janesville office by the October 15, 2014 deadline. Students should send their applications to Ryan’s Janesville Constituent Services Center, to the attention of Chad Herbert.
