The Nebraska Delegation will host multiple Service Academy Day events across the state in 2025.  Please check back here for updates on times and locations.  These events are for all high school students (middle school through high school Seniors) that are interested in attending one of the U.S. Service Academies. The presentation details the congressional nomination process and includes information about the service academy application process.  Additional participants include representatives from the service academies, Nebraska Service Academies Parents Associations and Nebraska Service Academy Alumni Associations.

Each year Members of Congress (Senators and Representatives) have the privilege of nominating (or recommending) a select group of outstanding young men and women to attend one of our five United States Service Academies: United States Air Force Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Military Academy, or United States Naval Academy. Links to the respective academies and their application processes are below.

• United States Air Force Academy: https://www.academyadmissions.com/apply/
  
  
• United States Coast Guard Academy: https://www.uscga.edu/apply/
  
  
• United States Merchant Marine Academy: https://www.usmma.edu/admissions

• United States Naval Academy: https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Apply/index.php#fndtn-panel1
  
  

Each academy requires you submit a separate application to attend.  This process is independent of applying for a nomination through my office.  Due to the large volume of applications, it is best to start the process with the academy of your choice as soon as possible.
