WASHINGTON – On May 1, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) announced his office is now accepting applications for students in Texas’ 10th district seeking a Congressional nomination to a United States Service Academy. Every year, the congressman can nominate up to 10 candidates per vacancy from his district to be considered for appointment at the United States Air Force, Merchant Marine, Military, and Naval Academy.

“It brings me great joy to nominate outstanding young men and women across Texas-10 who have a desire to serve their country,” said Rep. McCaul. “I look forward to seeing this year’s applications and playing a small part in the journey of our future service men and women.”

To be considered for an appointment, an applicant must meet the minimum admissions standards set by each individual service academy. Admission to the service academies is based on SAT/ACT scores, class rank, physical aptitude scores, extracurricular activities, athletic abilities, medical examinations, and a panel interview. 

The application process is now open on a rolling basis from May 1, 2023, until September 29, 2023. For more information or to request a packet, please visit here and contact our academy nominations coordinator, Destinee Vargas, at destinee.vargas@mail.house.gov or (979) 431-6480.
