The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.\n\nThe first step in a student\u2019s journey to attend a Military Service Academy is to apply for a congressional nomination. Each candidate is eligible for four congressional nominations, and highly encouraged to seek nominations from all offices to increase the probability of earning a nomination. The offices eligible to provide nominations are the Office of the Vice President of the United States, the two Idaho U.S. Senate offices, and the Idaho U.S. House of Representatives office. Congressman Fulcher may nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to Idaho\u2019s First Congressional District.\n\n\u201cCongratulations to the nominated candidates!\u201d exclaimed Congressman Fulcher. \u201cAll the best to you as you pursue your goal of attending one of the U.S. Service Academies to serve our country and represent the Gem State.\u201d\n\nU.S. Merchant Marine Academy- Kings Point, NY\n\nGrace Jackson, Parma High School\n\nNicholas Bisagno, Mountain View High School\n\nCaleb Colson, Centennial High School\n\nOlivia Hill, Lake City High School\n\nNathan Patchen, Capital High School\n\nLacy Yates, Emmett High School\n\nU.S. Military Academy- West Point, NY\n\nElliot Lim, Renaissance High School\n\nOlivia Love, Eagle High School\n\nBoone Phillips, Skyview High School\n\nMichael Schlothauer, Coeur d\u2019Alene High School\n\nTimothy Luke Simpson, Meridian High School\n\nJaxon Smith, Middleton High School\n\nHolden Sopoti, Renaissance High School\n\nThomas Symms, Homedale High School\n\nAnna Wang, Renaissance High School\n\nLacy Yates, Emmett High School\n\nU.S. Air Force Academy- Colorado Springs, CO\n\nKae\u2019la Brown, Vallivue High School\n\nCaleb Colson, Centennial High School\n\nKobie DeLeonard, Coeur d\u2019Alene High School\n\nKyle Garner, Eagle High School\n\nOlivia Hill, Lake City High School\n\nMason Kilker, Rocky Mountain High School\n\nElliot Lim, Renaissance High School\n\nMadison Peterson, Rocky Mountain High School\n\nGary Spencer Severance, Boise High School\n\nJaxon Smith, Middleton High School\n\nU.S. Naval Academy- Annapolis, MD\n\nAustin Durfee, Eagle High School\n\nJames Griffin, Sandpoint High School\n\nOlivia Love, Eagle High School\n\nSteven Newcomer, Monterey High School\n\nNathan Patchen, Capital High School\n\nMichael Schlothauer, Coeur d\u2019Alene High School\n\nTimothy Luke Simpson, Meridian High School\n\nHolden Sopoti, Renaissance High School\n\nThomas Symms, Homedale High School\n\nMja Towner, Weiser High School\n\nApplicants who received a nomination are not guaranteed an appointment; it is only the first step in the process.
