Service Academy Nominations

Thank you for your interest in the U.S. service academies. As your First District representative in the U.S. House, each year I have the privilege of nominating a limited number of people to four of the five service academies. The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

Please fill out the preliminary online application below to start the  process.  The Academy Application data packet sheet (PDF copy below) should be downloaded and filled out completely and returned to Congressman Wittman's office in Glen Allen. The mailing address is contained on the application.  In addition, in the Academy Application packet you will find an application procedure check list for assistance.   The entire application packet is due the last day of October.  

Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. service academies and serving our country.

For more information you may call 804-401-4120.
