      There are certain eligibility requirements that you must meet in order to be considered for admissions. You must be at least 17 but not past your 23rd birthday as of July 1st on the year you plan to enter the academies, and also must be a U.S. citizen. You must be of high moral character and meet the high leadership, academic, physical, and medical standards set forth by the academies and the U.S. Government.
