Rosendale Initiates Application Process For Service Academy

Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., initiated the application process for Montana’s service academy nomination process. Each year, members of congress have the privilege of nominating top-talent to pursue this prestigious opportunity.

Our service academies are esteemed institutions; being afforded the opportunity to attend one is a distinct honor. Four of the five U.S. service academies require congressional nominations: U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

Given the competitive nature of the service academy appointment process, candidates are encouraged to submit a comprehensive application that highlights their academic, civic and athletic abilities, along with their commitment to the military service. A complete list of required documents can be found at rosendale.house. gov. Visit the office website at https://rosendale.house. gov/services/service-academy- nominations.htm for more information.
