Nominations

All appointments to the United States Military Academy are made by the President. To be considered for an appointment, an applicant must have a nomination from an authorized nominating source. There are two nominating sources. The first, usually referred to as congressional nominations includes the nominations of the Vice President, Members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. The second, referred to a service-connected or military-affiliated nominations, includes the selection of the President and the nominations of the Secretary of the Army.

Applicants who meet eligibility requirements may apply for and receive nominations in both categories. Congressional nominations account for three-fourths of all appointments. As a minimum, all candidates may apply for a congressional nomination to the Vice President, both of their Texas senators, and their congressional district representative.

Congressional Nominations

Both Texas Senators nominate from applicants in the entire state of Texas. Representatives nominate from applicants domiciled in their congressional districts. Applicants may apply for and receive nominations from both Texas Senators and from their Representative. Applicants may also apply to the Vice President who can nominate applicants from the United States at large.

If you are unsure of the congressional district in which you reside, inquire from the congressional district in which you believe you reside.
