SERVICE ACADEMY NOMINATIONS
We have started accepting applications for the class entering Summer 2010. Deadline for applications is November 1st 2009.
Each member of Congress, whether in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, can have no more than five appointees in each of the service academies. California, the most populous state, with fifty-three members of the House and two Senators, therefore becomes the most competitive in seeking a senatorial nomination to an academy.

In the year before entry to the academy, you may request the application forms. Senator Boxer's office begins mailing application forms to applicants in April, and they must be postmarked no later than Novermber 1. Take the SAT or ACT examinations no later than November.
Senator Boxer's code numbers for direct reporting of scores are: SAT, 0246; ACT, 7109.
You must notify the academies of your interest in applying. Complete your application file at the academy as soon as possible and keep your file up to date.
In selecting nominees, Senator Boxer follows recommendations from a volunteer Service Academy Selection Advisory Committee, which conducts an objective, merit-based review of the applicants. Each year, around 1,000 young people apply for a nomination from this office. In January, the committee interviews by telephone the top applicants to each academy for admission in that year.
If you are interested in applying for a nomination to a service academy, you may download the online form, or send an e-mail to academy@boxer.senate.gov with the year you plan to enter the academy in the subject line, and your name, mailing address, and daytime phone number in the body of the message. Please note that we are currently accepting applications for 2010 entry. These applications must be postmarked by November 1, 2009.
