Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
INDIANAPOLIS – On Monday, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced his nominations for U.S. service academy appointments.
Applications were received from 140 high school students, and a select group was interviewed by an advisory board chosen by Young. Out of 75 offered interviews, 47 young men and women from across Indiana received a nomination from Young.
A nomination does not guarantee admission to a service academy, but is required in order to be considered. Nominees are chosen based on personal merit. Criteria considered include evidence of character, leadership, academic excellence, physical aptitude and extracurricular activities.
“I had the privilege of recommending a talented group of Hoosiers for admission to the United States service academies this year,” said Young. “These young men and women are highly qualified to serve our country, and I’m very proud of their hard work. I wish them the best of luck in their application process.”
Among Young’s service academy nominees was:
• United States Air Force Academy
Rick Orr, Warsaw Community High School.
