Press Release

Idaho Senator Mike Crapo today announced his nomination of 44 Idaho students for continuing education and service as a part of the nation's military academies. The students' applications are now being considered by four of the U.S. service academies, where final selections will be made.

"These outstanding young people represent some of the best and brightest in our state, and it is an honor to nominate them to our nation's service academies," said Crapo. "We in Idaho have much to be proud of in these students who seek to serve our state and country in the armed forces and will go on to be tomorrow's leaders. I congratulate this year's nominees for their hard work and commitment, and look forward to seeing their future successes."

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.
