Contact: Susan Wheeler
Washington, DC – Nearly 50 Idaho students have received nominations from Idaho Senator Mike Crapo in applying to enter United States military service academies during the coming year. Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives make annual nominations to four of the service academies. The academies then select from the students nominated. Crapo made nominations to the following: the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado; the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, New York; the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York; and the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Congressional nominations are not required for students attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
“Idaho students have already established a strong foundation of academic excellence to get to this point in the academy process,” Crapo said. “The commitment to education, leadership and spirit of service demonstrated by our service academies is second to none. One of the best parts of my job is being able to assist tomorrow’s leaders as they seek an outstanding education and benefit all Americans by protecting our nation.” To be eligible for nominations, each student submitted an application and references, and met certain scholastic requirements under a deadline. A nomination does not guarantee acceptance. Those wishing to apply for future nominations can find information on Crapo’s website at http://crapo.senate.gov., or should contact Karen Roetter in Crapo’s North Idaho Office in Coeur d’Alene at (208) 664-5490.
