Interested high school seniors invited to apply by Oct. 11 

With the deadline approaching to apply for U.S. service academies, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney encouraged students from the Hudson Valley to seek a nomination from his office. Rep. Maloney has the ability to nominate students to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point. Students applying to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London do not need a Congressional nomination.

“As your representative, it is my honor to be a small part of one of our country’s oldest traditions of nominating the Hudson Valley’s most accomplished and motivated young people for acceptance into a service academy,” Maloney said.

Interested students must submit completed applications to the district office at 123 Grand Street, Newburgh, NY 12550, no later than Oct. 11. Applicants who have submitted completed application materials will be contacted to schedule interviews with Rep. Maloney’s Service Academy Selection Board.

The application process is open to all interested high school seniors in New York’s 18th Congressional District. Students are encouraged to research specific academies on their respective websites. Visit seanmaloney.house.gov or call Oscar Dunham at 845-561-1259.
