Senator Tester helps Montana Youth

Montana's Senator in Washington Jon Tester is making it easy for Montana youth to attend a military service academy.

"If you or someone you know wants to kick off your service to this country at West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, or the Merchant Marine Academy," he says, "you'll need a Congressional nomination to be considered."

Applications for a nomination through his office are now open, and you've got until November 1, 2023, to get them submitted to be considered for the Class of 2028.

To learn more about the application process, visit Tester's website or attend one of his Academy Day informational sessions with representatives from each service academy:

  • 11 AM – 1 PM
