Military Academy Nominations

Instructions

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. For more information, please review the page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Military Academy Nomination.

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.

Congresswoman Hoyle 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 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.

Please reach out to my office at 541-465-6732 for an academy application. Please leave your emailing and mailing address. I will be happy to consider you for a congressional nomination to the class starting in 2026. Please note, you must also contact the academies you want to attend and ask each to open a pre-candidate file for you.

I base my nominations for all academies on the whole person. That means I consider SAT/ACT scores, academic performance, work experience, and extracurricular activities such as athletics and community service. I will need your completed application form, at least three letters of recommendation and your high school transcripts.
