Crapo Announces Military Academy Nominations

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Idaho Senator Mike Crapo today announced the nomination of 44 Idaho students to the nation’s military academies.  The students’ applications are now being considered by four of the U.S. academies, where final selections will be made.

"One of the honors of my role as Idaho’s U.S. Senator is nominating distinguished students to the U.S. military service academies,” said Crapo.  “By pursuing higher education in one of these academies, these students demonstrate their strong commitment to service and country.  I congratulate each individual on their nomination and have every confidence in their leadership and academic skills as they continue to represent Idaho long into the future.”

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 US. Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy.  To qualify for a nomination, 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.
