WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller announced today 10 West Virginia high school students nominated to four U.S. military service academies.
“West Virginians have always answered the call to defend our nation. I am proud to nominate these accomplished young men and women, and I thank them for their willingness to serve. These students represent our most courageous citizens who will go on serve our nation nobly,” said Congresswoman Miller.
While a congressional nomination is required to apply, it does not guarantee admission. Students will be notified individually if they are granted admission to one of the service academies.
