INFORMATION FOR THOSE Graduating Seniors who plan to attend Kilgore College (KC) for Fall 2026, do not need to apply to KC again.  However, there is some information that is needed to transition them from dual credit students.  Below is a link that is a step by step guide for those students to continue their journey to Kilgore College and to the form that is required.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Kilgore College.

Message from Nathanial Moran's Office Regarding Service Academy Nominations:
 

 

Congressman Nathaniel Moran is eager to assist with nominations to our U.S. military academies. As you are undoubtedly aware, our U.S. military service academies have a long history of providing amazing opportunities for students to receive top-notch educations.

 

The U.S. Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy all require a nomination from a student’s U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator in order for a candidate to be considered for admission.

 

Interested students will first need to contact the academy of interest to initiate an application. They must also contact our office by the first part of their senior year. When a student contacts our office, he/she will receive our nomination application. This year, applications from high school seniors are due no later than October 1, 2025, to be considered for the Class of 2030.

 

Several letters of recommendation are required in the application process. One of those letters of recommendation should come from you as the student’s counselor or the principal of the school the student is attending. The format for this letter is included in the student’s application which they will provide to you.

 

If you or a student have any questions about a service academy or the nomination process, please contact our office at [email protected] or 903-561-6349.

 

Thank you for your assistance in making this opportunity available to as many students as possible. I am happy to help with any questions you might have.

 

Best,

Tara Baker | District Office & Academy Coordinator
