Message from Senator Ruben Gallego:

As a United States Senator representing Arizona, I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to nominate some of our state’s most talented, dedicated, and promising young men and women to the United States service academies. It is a privilege to support the next generation of leaders who are committed to serving our nation with integrity, courage, and a profound sense of duty.

As a combat veteran, I had the honor of serving in the United States Marine Corps from 2002 to 2006. During that time, I deployed to Iraq as a Lance Corporal with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines. Today, I am privileged to continue serving our nation as a United States Senator for the State of Arizona, where I have the distinct honor of participating in the service academy nomination and selection process.

Students who are selected for admission receive a tuition-free undergraduate education at one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions. Service academies provide full coverage of tuition, room, and board. Upon graduation, cadets are commissioned as officers in the United States Armed Forces. Attendance at a service academy is a distinguished honor that carries with it a commitment to serve on active duty for a minimum of five years following graduation.

Best wishes to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies and serving our country!
