This could include the President, the Vice President, a Member of the Senate, or a Member of the House of Representatives. Receiving a nomination is only the first step in the process of receiving an offer of an appointment to a U.S. military service academy. In addition to the nomination, students must qualify academically and are subject to character, leadership, physical fitness, medical fitness, and motivation evaluations. Only after passing each of these evaluations are students offered an appointment to the service academies. The following list of students will be attending the U.S. service academies next year: Pictured above: Kate Drabenstott attending the United States Military Academy (Centerville, OH) Connor Miltenberger attending the United States Naval Academy (Centerville, OH) Benjamin Rodriguez attending the Northwestern Preparatory School on a USAFA Falcon Scholarship (Beavercreek, OH) These students received an appointment, but could not be present at today’s event: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z |
