Luetkemeyer Invites 3rd District Students to Consider U.S. Military Service Academies

Washington, July 20, 2016 -

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) is encouraging high school students from the 3rd Congressional District to consider applying for a nomination to the nation’s military academies.

The four armed service academies are: United States Military Academy in New York (United States Army); United States Naval Academy in Maryland (United States Navy and Marine Corps); United States Air Force Academy in Colorado (United States Air Force), and the Merchant Marine Academy in New York (Merchant Marine). The United States Coast Guard in Connecticut is also available and it does not require a nomination.

“If any young men and women are interested in learning about the military academy admissions process, I strongly encourage you to contact my Jefferson City office for more information and details,” Luetkemeyer said. “This is an incredible opportunity from a very competitive field of qualified students across the country and I am always proud to see those from the 3rd District of Missouri get selected.”

The acceptance process includes a formal application to a panel of community volunteers from the 3rd District, applicant interviews, and formal applicant nominations to the academies of the student’s choice. Nominations are forwarded to the respective academies which notify students if they have been selected.
