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.

Representative McBath may nominate individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. 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.

The application portal for the class of 2030 is closed. Applicants will be contacted for interviews soon.

All applications must have been completed via the webform, and three letters of reference letters must have been submitted to our office. Applications and reference letters were due by 11:59 pm on Sunday, October 12th, 2025.

Applications must have been submitted by students using the webform. Reference letters may be sent in any of the following ways (letters may be sent directly by the applicant or by their chosen references):

• Email to serviceacademies.mcbath@mail.house.gov
• Mail or drop off at our District Office: 3330 Cumberland Blvd SE, Suite 610, Atlanta, GA 30339 (ATTN: Service Academy Nominations)
• Fax to 202-225-4656

If you have any additional questions, please contact our office at 470-773-6330 or serviceacademies.mcbath@mail.house.gov. Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country.
