Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that his office is now accepting applications for nomination to the U.S. Service Academies for the class entering in the fall of 2014. Loebsack is able to nominate ten Iowans for each Academy, with the final selection for admission made by the individual Academy from that group.
"As a military parent with kids who attended the Naval Academy, this process is very personal to me," said Loebsack. "I look forward to nominating our future leaders and encourage all interested students to apply."
Our nation's Service Academies offer educational opportunities for young people interested in military service. Students can specialize in a variety of fields at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, or the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point.
Additional information on the selection process can be found on Loebsack's website: www.Loebsack.house.gov. Please contact Katie Kluever, Loebsack's Academy Coordinator, in his Davenport office at 563-323-5988 with any questions. Katie can also be emailed at Katie.Kluever@mail.house.gov.
