Each year, I have the honor to nominate qualified Pennsylvania students to the four United States Service Academies. These distinguished academies offer qualified Pennsylvania students a unique opportunity to obtain a first-rate college education, and train our young men and women to serve as our country’s future leaders.

Interested students can download an application from my website. The deadline for applications for the incoming class of 2011 is Oct. 1 at 5 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact my Harrisburg office at 717-231-7540.
