Livingston, NJ –  The application process for students from New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District seeking to be nominated for a U.S. military service academy this coming year has launched, announced Representative Mike Sherrill (NJ -11).

The nomination application is open to high school seniors applying to the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, as well as college students looking to transfer into one of the Academies. Students seeking an appointment to one of these institutions must receive a nomination in order to be appointed to attend. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a Congressional nomination.

The application process for a Service Academy nomination is currently open and the deadline to submit your application is October 24, 2024.

"I am so proud of the men and women from my district who are considering careers of military service. As a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, I know our nation’s service academies provide not only world-class academics, but leadership training that is second to none. There is no better place than one of the U.S. military academies for New Jersey students interested in a career as a military officer,” said Rep. Sherrill.

The Congresswoman can only offer a limited number of nominations each year, and the nomination process is highly competitive. Furthermore, only a fraction of nominated students ultimately receive an appointment to attend an Academy.

The application process is competitive and considers the academic, athletic, extracurricular activities and community involvement of candidates who apply. Every candidate is interviewed by Congresswoman Sherrill’s Academy Nomination Board which consists of Academy alumni, military veterans, and civic leaders from the community.
