Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11) released the following statement ahead of the October 18th deadline to submit applications for a nomination to a U.S. Military Service Academy:

“One of my greatest honors as a U.S. Representative is nominating young men and women to our military service academies. Young men and women who are interested in attending a military service academy will need to submit their application for a nomination ahead of the October 18, 2016, deadline.

To be considered for appointment to a service academy, the applicant must be a United States citizen who is a resident of the 11th District and at least 17-years-old but not older than 23 on July 1, 2017. Selection is based on SAT and ACT test scores, class rank, grade point average, extracurricular activities, and leadership potential.

The application can be found online here. All applications must be received at my San Angelo office by Oct. 18, 2016.”
