The academies are:
-
U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado
-
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York
-
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York
-
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland

The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecticut is the only one that does not require a Congressional nomination. Visit each service academy's website for additional information.
