The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), does not require a congressional nomination for appointment. The first step in a student’s 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’s First Congressional District. “Congratulations to the nominated candidates!” exclaimed Congressman Fulcher. “All 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.” U.S. Merchant Marine Academy- Kings Point, NY Grace Jackson, Parma High School Nicholas Bisagno, Mountain View High School Caleb Colson, Centennial High School Olivia Hill, Lake City High School Nathan Patchen, Capital High School Lacy Yates, Emmett High School U.S. Military Academy- West Point, NY Elliot Lim, Renaissance High School Olivia Love, Eagle High School Boone Phillips, Skyview High School Michael Schlothauer, Coeur d’Alene High School Timothy Luke Simpson, Meridian High School Jaxon Smith, Middleton High School Holden Sopoti, Renaissance High School Thomas Symms, Homedale High School Anna Wang, Renaissance High School Lacy Yates, Emmett High School U.S. Air Force Academy- Colorado Springs, CO Kae’la Brown, Vallivue High School Caleb Colson, Centennial High School Kobie DeLeonard, Coeur d’Alene High School Kyle Garner, Eagle High School Olivia Hill, Lake City High School Mason Kilker, Rocky Mountain High School Elliot Lim, Renaissance High School Madison Peterson, Rocky Mountain High School Gary Spencer Severance, Boise High School Jaxon Smith, Middleton High School U.S. Naval Academy- Annapolis, MD Austin Durfee, Eagle High School James Griffin, Sandpoint High School Olivia Love, Eagle High School Steven Newcomer, Monterey High School Nathan Patchen, Capital High School Michael Schlothauer, Coeur d’Alene High School Timothy Luke Simpson, Meridian High School Holden Sopoti, Renaissance High School Thomas Symms, Homedale High School Mja Towner, Weiser High School Applicants who received a nomination are not guaranteed an appointment; it is only the first step in the process.
