The office of U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) is accepting applications for service academy nominations to four of the five service academies: the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

The deadline to apply is October 11, 2024.

“The decision to attend a service academy is a personal one, and I am honored to be involved in the process,” said Sen. Mullin. “The men and women of our Armed Forces represent the very best among us, and I am proud of the Oklahomans who desire to join their ranks. I am wishing the best of luck to those interested and look forward to reviewing the applications.”

Background:

• A nomination does not guarantee admission. If an individual receives a nomination from the Senator’s office, next, they must receive an appointment from the service academy.
• The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. At that time, individuals receive a bachelor’s degree and are commissioned as military officers.
• In addition to meeting the minimum eligibility requirements, the Senator’s office recommends that each applicant excel academically and demonstrate involvement in extracurricular activities through their schools and in their communities.
• Applications and additional information can be found on the Senator’s website:https://www.mullin.senate.gov/services/service-academy-nominations/
• Students must submit four copies of their completed application, along with four copies of their 3×5 photo, by mail to the Senator’s Oklahoma City office.
