Academy Nominations

Thank you for your interest in obtaining information about receiving a nomination for an appointment to one of the four U.S. Service Academies. Senator Manchin applauds your ambition to pursue your education and the obvious dedication to our country that has inspired you to seek this appointment. If you have further questions regarding the application process, please contact Senator Manchin's Charleston office at 304-342-5855.

As you may or may not be aware, Members of Congress are limited in the number of nominations that they can submit each year. Senator Manchin will consider each candidate for a nomination to fill vacancies to selected academies. Academy officials have the responsibility to appoint selected nominees based on their competitive evaluation. Senator Manchin is pleased to provide an application and checklist online for your convenience. All required information must be submitted by October 1st, 2024.

The preferred way to submit your application is through my online portal but if you need additional consideration, please contact my academy coordinator.
