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. Once nominated by Senator Roberts, the applicants then must meet the individual admission requirements of each academy. The academies will make the final decision 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 this spring will announce appointments for the class entering in July 2015. Senator Roberts’ nominees are as follows: United States Air Force Academy Nominees Nicholas Clark, Manhattan Kaitlyn Emerson, Topeka Stephanie Farney, McPherson Mattie Germann, Leawood Sofia Gilkeson, Wichita Abbie Lavin, Lenexa Zach Marcolesco, Andale Caleb Mathes, Bartlett Kelly Nguyen, Wichita Matthew Scherer, Wamego United States Naval Academy Nominees Kynedi Allison, Delphos Charles Beck, Wichita Eli Cosner, Overland Park Frank Dwornicki, Wichita Kenneth Englert, Shawnee Kyle Garton, Overland Park Grace Gomez, Topeka Chenxi He, Olathe Michael Healy, Leawood Elizabeth Jarvis, Wichita John Kelly, Minneapolis Austin Koch, Topeka Elyjah Lyons, Parsons Michael Marsh, Topeka Madeleine Pershall, Topeka Frederick Porter, Neodesha Chelsey Ratzlaff, Wichita Charles Schillings, Wichita Gwyneth Schuler, Wichita Thomas Williams, Overland Park United States Military Academy at West Point Nominees Ryan Brunner, Topeka John Flott, Topeka Anna Frick, Ft Riley Derek Martin, Conway Springs Anthony Nilles, Halstead Joshua Winton, Leavenworth United States Merchant Marine Academy Nominee Cameron Hamm, Overland Park Senator Roberts will begin accepting applications in March for nominations to academy classes entering in July 2016.
