Rep. Jill Tokuda Accepting Applications for Military Service Academy Nominations
(Honolulu, HI) – Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) announced that her office is accepting applications from students in Hawaiʻi’s Second Congressional District for Military Service Academy Nominations. Qualified applicants must submit their applications no later than Monday, October 16th, 2023.
Every year, members of Congress are given a limited number of candidates to nominate for appointment to the U.S. service academies. Rep. Tokuda can only nominate up to ten exceptional students for each vacant academy slot allotted to the Second Congressional District.
“There are students throughout our islands who have the strength of character and tenacity to be among our next generation of leaders in our U.S. Military,” Representative Tokuda, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said. “It is an honor for me to nominate our young leaders in Hawaiʻi to attend a military service academy to pursue their dreams of service while proudly representing our values and our home.”
To be considered for a nomination, candidates must reside in Hawaiʻi’s Second Congressional District, meet the basic eligibility requirements established by the academies, and submit a complete nomination application by Monday, October 16th, 2023 to Rep. Tokuda’s office. For more information on eligibility and the application process, visit bit.ly/tokudanominations or call Rep. Tokuda’s District Office at (808) 746-6220.

---------------------------------------------------------A message from Senator Mazie Hirono:
"The congressional nomination process is very competitive and an honor that my Military Service Academy Selection Panel and I take very seriously. Please understand that if you do not receive a nomination from my office, it does not necessarily mean you do not meet academy standards. Rather, it likely reflects the high caliber of candidates who applied for a very limited number of nominations. My office will do our best to coordinate with other members of the Hawaii congressional delegation to ensure that we maximize opportunities for all Hawaii Military Service Academy candidates.
I commend you for your desire to serve our nation as an officer in the United States Armed Forces and wish you every success in your pursuit of an appointment to a service academy. If, for some reason, the information below does not answer all of your questions please see the frequently asked questions or contact my state office at 808-522-8970."
Due to the competitive and thorough selection process, students are encouraged to apply to their congressional sponsors and service academies in the spring of their junior year. Students in their senior year will also be considered.

Military Recruiter/Individual Student Visits Information
INDIVIDUAL STUDENT MEETINGS
Individual student meetings with a military recruiter must be scheduled ahead of time with me and the student must have parent/guardian consent prior to the scheduled visit. If the student does not have a consent form on file in the CCRC, then he/she may not meet with military recruiters individually until consent is obtained. The student can obtain a consent form by visiting the CCRC. Individual student meetings are to be held during non-instructional time (i.e. recess or lunch). If a student/parent contacts the military recruiter directly to schedule a meeting on the WHIS campus, please contact me a minimum of 2 weeks in advance to schedule the meeting and confirm the day/time. Do NOT schedule a meeting day/time held on WHIS campus without contacting the CCRC FIRST.
UNANNOUNCED/UNSCHEDULED VISITS
Unannounced and unscheduled visits by military recruiters ARE NOT ALLOWED.
