Military Academy Nominations
The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. For more information, please review the page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Military Academy Nomination. The application is currently closed and will reopen in late spring. For any additional questions, please contact the Westmoreland County office at (724)219 - 4200.
