The Service Academies District of Columbia Equality Act of 2025 would increase the number of District of Columbia residents eligible to attend the three major U.S. military service academies. Specifically, the bill would raise the cap of D.C. appointees from five to fifteen students per year at the Military Academy (West Point), Naval Academy (Annapolis), and Air Force Academy. This change affects D.C. residents seeking admission to these academies, which provide free education and military officer training. The bill contains no explicit funding requirements, as it simply modifies existing appointment slots. The legislation was introduced by Senator Kaine and referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee in November 2025.
