Students should submit their applications online beginning February 1st.  Selection is dependent upon the overall qualification of the student and our need to meet complete geographic representation. All applicants will be notified of their selection status. In some cases, notification of selection status will not be available before the beginning of April and in the case of late applications no earlier than 30 days after receipt.

We will automatically process all summer seminar applicants as applicants to the Naval Academy upon completion of the Summer Seminar selection process. There is no need to submit an additional preliminary application. Due to limited space in the Summer Seminar Program, we highly recommend that students who are not selected continue to pursue admission to the Academy.  Summer Seminar is a competitive program and can only accommodate 750 students in each of the three sessions (2,250 total).
