Military Academy Nominations

Instructions

Thank you for your interest in attending a U.S. Service Academy. As the Congressman for Illinois’ 11th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, I have the privilege of nominating a limited number of people to four of the five service academies each year. 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.

The application window for the 2026 school year is now open. Please fill out the application packet below and return to Christopher Peacher (Christopher.Peacher@mail.house.gov).
