WILMINGTON, Del. - Today, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) announced her nominations for 26 Delaware students for admission to United States Service Academies for the Class of 2028. Each year, members of the United States Congress are charged with nominating top candidates for attendance at four service academies: the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. Nominees must now be accepted by the academies to gain admittance. Blunt Rochester selected the 26 students after each student met with a selection panel that was composed of several community members, including active duty and retired servicemembers.
“Serving our country in uniform requires courage and a commitment to a higher purpose, which is why I am honored to nominate these deserving students to our prestigious service academies,” said Blunt Rochester. “This year’s applicant pull consisted of many outstanding students, and I’m confident that all of this year’s applicants have bright futures ahead. I wish those nominated the best as they move forward in their journeys to serve our state and nation.”
