Congresswoman Haley Stevens has nominated 22 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. Nominations included students from Canton, Northville and Plymouth.
“I am excited to nominate these 22 incredible students for appointment to our nation's service academies,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “Serving our country is the most honorable act that Americans can commit; I am so inspired by these students' desire to serve, and I am so proud to be their representative in Congress. I'm rooting for them throughout the rest of the application process!”
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.
