U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) today announced that he nominated 41 Kansas students for an appointment to one of the U.S. Service Academies for the class of 2024.\r\nAs a Marine, I'm pleased to nominate this outstanding group of young men and women to our nation's service academies, Senator Roberts said. I am especially proud to see so many young Kansans seeking to serve in our nation's military.\r\nIn making the nominations, Senator Roberts followed the recommendations of his Academy Screening Board. The nonpartisan board is comprised of seven volunteers from across Kansas and is overseen by Gilda Lintz, Senator Roberts' District Director and Military Academy Coordinator in Topeka. As part of the decision-making process, board members conduct personal interviews with the applicants, as well as review their written applications, G.P.A. and standardized test scores.\r\nOnce nominated by Senator Roberts, the applicants then must meet the individual admission requirements of each academy. The academies will make the final decisions on who will receive an appointment of admission. Due to the limited number of openings at each academy, not every nominee will receive an appointment. The academies will announce appointments this spring for the class entering in July 2020.
