Rep. Stevens Announces Service Academy Nominations
WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) announced that she has nominated 21 Michigan students for placement at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.
“One of my most meaningful duties as a Member of Congress is nominating students from Michigan’s 11th District to our nation’s prestigious service academies,” said Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11). “To serve in our military is the most honorable deed any American can perform, and I am so grateful to be able to assist these inspiring students in their pursuit of service. I am rooting for them throughout the rest of their application processes, and can’t wait to see what their futures hold.”
Students seeking an appointment to a service academy must first obtain a nomination from a nominating source – most commonly through their Members of Congress. Now that these students have been nominated, they must await acceptance of admission by the academy to which they have applied.
