SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal will host his 2025 Academy Day information session this Sunday, May 4. 
 
The event will take place at noon in the Davis Auditorium at the Springfield D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts, 21 Edwards St.
 
This session will allow interested students to learn more about each of the service academies and determine whether a military service academy or a similar education path is a suitable choice for their future.
 
Nominations by members of Congress or the vice president are required to attend the Military Academy at West Point and the Naval, Air Force and Merchant Marine academies. Candidates must also meet specific eligibility requirements and apply directly to the academies. 
 
During the presentation, Neal will recognize students who received a nomination and were accepted to one of the service academies beginning this summer. Representatives from the congressman's office will also share information about the application process for congressional nominations.
