Members of Congress are responsible for nominating outstanding candidates for admission to four prestigious service academies: the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point. After receiving these nominations, the academies must accept candidates to secure admission.
