Military Service Academy Nominations
As a United States Senator, Senator Steve Daines takes great pride in the opportunity to nominate students from Montana to the United States Service Academies.

- Between the ages of 17 and 23
- U.S. Citizen by July 1, 2025
- Unmarried, not pregnant, and without legal obligation to support children or other dependents

*NOTE: If you are attending a service academy preparatory school, a university out of state and graduated from a Montana high school, or have recently relocated out of the U.S. due to your parents’ service in the military and maintain Montana as your permanent residence, you may still apply with the Montana delegation.
And do these two things:
1) Contact the academy directly to open a pre-candidate file. You must have an open candidate file prior to the interview in December to receive a nomination. You may do so here:
2) Apply for a nomination from the Senator to an academy. Completed applications for a nomination must be received in Senator Daines' office no later than 5 p.m. MST on November 1st with all necessary documentation. This is a firm deadline.
