Cadets Receive Congressional Academy Nominations By Adriane K. Seymour, Director of Communications
Congratulations to the six cadets who made it through the intense 18 month Military Service Academy application process and were granted an interview with their congressman during the months of November and December. All six cadets competed against other applicants in their district and received an official nomination from their congressional representative. Members of Congress can nominate up to 10 candidates from their district but only one candidate may be listed as his/her principal nominee. This nomination ensures that the applicant will receive an appointment to the Academy. These cadets will be notified in February if they will receive an official appointment from the school of their choice. Congratulations gentleman on this outstanding accomplishment. This is one of the largest groups of Riverside cadets to be granted nominations in the same year.
