Service Academy Day

I'm hosting a Service Academy Day on Saturday, May 9, 2026. This event would allow all TX-22 to learn how to attend one of the United States Service Academies.

One of the privileges of serving in the United States House of Representatives is the opportunity to nominate outstanding young people from the 22nd Congressional District of Texas to be considered for appointment to our nation’s service academies.

Admission to a service academy is a two-tiered process. First, the candidate must apply and meet the minimum standards set by the individual academy. Second, the candidate must complete the congressional application to be considered for an interview with the nomination review board in our office. Please note that the ultimate selection of appointee’s rests solely with academy officials and is based on their competitive evaluation of all nominees.

In addition to staff from my office, representatives from all five academies (U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and U.S. Coast Guard Academy) and current academy cadets and midshipmen will be on hand to answer questions. Students, parents, and educators will be able to hear from and meet with representatives on a one-on-one basis to become informed about the excellent opportunities associated with attending these premier educational institutions and the careers they generate.

This forum is free; however, pre-registration is required and can be found below. It will be held from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at the Rosenberg Civic Center.

We encourage students, parents, and educators to attend and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to learn more about these premier institutions and the careers they offer.

If you have any questions, please email NehlsServiceAcademy@mail.house.gov or call my district office at (346) 762-6600.
