First Time Here?
We have the honor and privilege to recommend some of Arizona’s most talented and skilled individuals for selection to the four Service Academies that require nominations.
Each applicant requesting a nomination must meet the basic eligibility requirements set forth by the Service Academies:
- Must be at least 17 years old, but not have passed their 23rd birthday (25th birthday for the Merchant Marine Academy);
- Must be a U.S. Citizen and legal resident of Arizona; Must be unmarried;
- Must not be pregnant and have no legal obligation to provide financial support for children or other dependents; and
- Must be qualified to commit to a minimum of five years of active duty service upon graduation from an Academy
Prior to applying for a nomination from our office, please contact your academy or academies of choice to request a pre-candidate questionnaire.
Once you have completed the questionnaire and have sent it to the academy or academies to which you are seeking admission, they will inform you of any special physical, medical, or academic requirements particular to their institution.
*In order to receive a nomination from Senator Sinema's Service Academy Board, candidates must have initiated an application to their preferred service academies and passed their candidate fitness assessment.*
