Tiffany Announces United States Service Academy Nominations

WAUSAU, WI – Today, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced eleven students from Wisconsin's Seventh District who were nominated to a U.S. service academy. All high school students who wish to serve in our nation’s military service academies are required to receive a nomination from at least one member of their state’s Congressional Delegation, the Vice President, or the President of the United States. 

“It is my honor to nominate these eleven dedicated and determined high school students to their desired United States service academies,” said Congressman Tom Tiffany. “Their willingness to step up and answer the call to defend our great nation is admirable, and I want to congratulate each and every one of them on receiving my nomination.”

The following students received a nomination to a U.S. service academy:

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy manages its own selection process and does not require a congressional nomination for appointment. This year’s nominees were selected by a local panel of judges based on academic achievements, civic involvement, leadership skills, physical aptitude, and character through an interview process.
