WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Steve King today announced Class of 2013 nominations from Iowa’s Fifth Congressional District to three of the U.S. Service Academies.
“Western Iowa produced many outstanding candidates this year, and I commend the applicants for their desire to serve our country,” King said. “Attending a service academy is an honor, and each of these candidates deserves strong consideration. I congratulate the nominees and wish them the best throughout the selection process.”
About The Nomination Process
To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, an applicant must meet the eligibility requirements established by law and be nominated from an authorized person including a Member of the United States Senate or House of Representatives.
Who Is Eligible?
An applicant for a nomination must meet the following eligibility requirements as of July 1 of the year of admission to a service academy: He or she must be at least 17 years old, but not have passed the 23rd birthday, must be a United States citizen, and must be unmarried, not pregnant, and have no legal obligation to support children or other dependents.
Service Academies
There are five Service Academies: The United States Air Force (USAFA), Naval (USNA), Military (USMA), Merchant Marine (USMMA), and Coast Guard (USCGA) Academies. Nominations are required for all but the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, to which appointments are made on the basis of an annual nationwide competition.
