This is going to seem silly, but I am confused about who my junior can request a nomination from. We live in Dallas. Can anyone help?

I'm so new at this. We flew from Dallas this past weekend so our junior son could do his overnight at VMI. It was a go! He was impressed. He will be looking to apply for an Army ROTC Scholarship for VMI. I'm doing my research and trying to get information as we move forward. Anyone on this...
