Castro Encourages Students To Apply For Military Academy Nominations

WASHINGTON, TX - Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) has extended the deadline for applications to be nominated to a military service academy. Castro is now accepting applications from students in San Antonio's 20th Congressional District for nomination to the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy until November 13th by 6:00 PM CT.

"If you live in our district and want to serve your country, I encourage you to apply. Attending one of our nation's service academies is an incredible honor and privilege. My office is ready to help you take that next step," said Congressman Castro.

Students living outside the 20th district can seek a nomination through Texas' U.S. Senators offices. To learn more about requirements and apply, click here.
