Haley Stevens (MI-11). \u201cTo serve in our military is the most honorable deed any American can perform, and I am so grateful to be able to assist these inspiring students in their pursuit of service. I am rooting for them throughout the rest of their application processes, and can\u2019t wait to see what their futures hold.\u201d\n\nStudents seeking an appointment to a service academy must first obtain a nomination from a nominating source \u2013 most commonly through their Members of Congress.
