Every year Congressman Calvert has the opportunity to nominate 10 candidates per vacancy at each Academy (no Congressional nomination is needed for the United States Coast Guard Academy). Candidates should apply for nomination and admission simultaneously in the Spring if their Junior year of high school. Congressman Calvert's nominations are made on a strictly competitive basis. Therefore, he has established a Academy Nominations Selection Committee that will determine nominations based solely on the candidate's qualifications. Candidates are judged on their scholastic achievements, leadership performance, athletic participation, community service, and motivation.
