The honor of attending a U.S. service academy (Military, Naval, Air Force and Merchant Marine) carries a 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.

All candidates living in the 4th Congressional District begin the service academy application process by completing the online form below. A face-to-face interview with Congressman Ron Estes and the 4th District service academy interview board will take place in early November.

Each Member may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. To request a Military Academy Nomination from our office, please review the candidate requirements and complete the form below. Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country.
