National Service Academy Nominations
In the spring of an applicant's
junior year in high school, I accept requests for nominations to the
following national service academies:
Air Force Academy
Colorado Springs, Colorado 80840
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
Kings Point, New York 11024
U.S. Military Academy
West Point, New York 10996
U.S. Naval Academy
Annapolis, Maryland 21402
Please be sure to contact the service
academy of your preference to establish your pre-candidate file. Each
academy has established its own criteria for admission that takes into
consideration Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Testing
program (ACT) scores, extracurricular activities, and leadership potential.
Ultimate selection of appointees rests solely with academy officials and is
based on their competitive evaluation of all nominees. Bear in mind that
acceptance of an appointment commits an applicant to five years of active
duty service after graduation.
Applicants must be:
- U.S. Citizens;
- Legal residents of West Virginia;
- At least 17 years of age, but not yet 22
years of age, by July 1 of the year of admission; and
- Unmarried with no dependents.
To request a nomination from my office,
please write to me at:
U.S. Senator
Robert C. Byrd
300 Virginia
Street, East
Suite 2630
Charleston, WV 25301
