Contact: Lindsay Nothern
Washington, DC – Idaho Senator Mike Crapo announced his nomination of 59 Idaho students to military service academies, for the freshman class entering in 2012. The students’ applications are now being considered by four of the U.S. service academies, where final selections will be made. “These academies are the world’s paramount leader development institutions,” Crapo said. “I am proud to nominate students from Idaho to assist them in their continued education and am confident in their abilities. Our nation remains engaged in defending freedom and fighting terrorism. It is admirable that young Idahoans are choosing to defend and serve our country.” Each year, U.S. Senators and Representatives make 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. 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 should contact Karen Roetter in Crapo’s North Idaho Office in Coeur d’Alene at (208) 664-5490. Crapo 2012 Academy Nominations
