Jim Banksannounced he has nominated 8 students from Indiana's 3rdCongressional District for acceptance to U.S. Service Academies' Class of 2025.\r\nBanks said: Congratulations to these eight patriotic youngmen and women. They've already shown a remarkable commitment to their country, and I'm certain they will be excellent representatives for northeast Indiana. I wish each of them the best of luck in the final stage of the admissions process.\r\nBACKGROUND: Admission to a Service Academy is a two-tiered process. First, the applicant must directly apply to the Academy and meet the set minimum standards. These standards include, but are not limited to medical, physical, and academic qualifications. The second tier in pursuing admissionis the nominationprocess. Congressman Banks' U.S. Service Academy Advisory Board is responsible for interviewing and evaluating students seeking a nomination to U.S. Service Academies. A nomination does not guarantee admission to a service academy, but it is required to be considered.\r\nList of Indiana's Third District Nominees:\r\nIsaac Coohon Leo Junior/Senior High School\r\nNominated to United States Air Force Academy\r\n\r\nColby Fleming -Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy\r\n\r\nWilliam Luker -Eastside Jr. Sr. High School in Angola\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and United States Merchant Marine Academy\r\n\r\nJenna Lusk- Concordia Lutheran High School\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and United States Merchant Marine Academy\r\n\r\nNatalie Miles Jay County High School\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and United States Merchant Marine Academy\r\n\r\nSarah Platt- DeKalb High School\r\nNominated toUnited States Military Academy\r\n\r\nIsaiah Rusher -Concordia Lutheran High School\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and United States Merchant Marine Academy\r\n\r\nWilliam Schneider -Illinois Institute of Technology\r\nNominated to United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, and United States Air Force Academy\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://banks.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1805"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6387378089129925, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
