McCaul Nominates Texas Students for Acceptance to U.S. Service Academies
AUSTIN, TX — Congressman Michael McCaul (TX-10) announced today that he has nominated 25 Texas students for acceptance to the esteemed United States service academies. The students are recommended based on their academic performance, leadership skills, extracurricular involvement, and character.
“One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to nominate such outstanding young Texans to our nation’s service academies,” McCaul said. “Competing with the best and brightest of America’s youth, this nomination signifies years of hard work and dedication. Their decision to serve our country in uniform is admirable, and I am confident the future of our nation is in good hands.”
The service academies include the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.; the Military Academy at West Point, NY; the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.; and the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. Final selection for admission to the service academies will be selected by the officials at each respective academy this spring.
