U.S. Senators Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins today announced their nominees to the United States Military Academies. To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, applicants must be nominated by an authorized nominating source, which includes members of Congress. Admission to the United States Coast Guard Academy, also a federal service academy, does not require a congressional nomination.
“We are proud to have the honor to nominate such an impressive group of Maine students to our nation’s distinguished service academies,” said Senators Snowe and Collins in a joint statement. “The young people we have nominated have earned this honor through a commitment to strong scholarship, leadership, and character.”
