WASHINGTON — This week, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) announced the opening of military service academy nominations through his Congressional office. Rep. Mann invites students from the Big First District who wish to pursue military service to apply for a Congressional nomination to America's military service academies.

"As a Member of Congress, it is an honor to nominate students from the Big First District to attend our country’s military service academies," said Rep Mann. "The decision to apply to a service academy is a personal and courageous one, and I am humbled to be a part of the process."

Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to the five U.S. service academies:

  1. U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY
  2. U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD
  3. U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO
  4. U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY
  5. U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT

Receiving a nomination from a Congressional office is the first step in the process of attending a service academy. A nomination does not guarantee admission. If an individual receives a nomination from a congressional office, they must next receive an appointment from the service academy.

If you, or a student you know, would like more information about attending one of the U.S. service academies, or have questions about the application process, please visit Mann.House.Gov/services/military-academy-nominations for more details on the nomination process, or contact Rep. Mann's Manhattan office at (785) 370-7277.

The deadline to submit all application materials is September 30, 2023 by 5:00 p.m.
