Sensenbrenner Announces US Service Academy Nominees from the 5th District

Press Release

Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Menomonee Falls) announced today that sixteen students from Wisconsin's Fifth Congressional District have received nominations to the US Service Academies.

"I continue to be impressed with the caliber of area students who apply through my office for a service academy nomination," Sensenbrenner said. "These young men and women have established strong records as leaders in their communities in addition to excelling academically and athletically. I congratulate all of the nominees and wish them the best of luck on all their future endeavors."

Nominees for the United States Service Academies were chosen from an impressive group of qualified applicants residing throughout Wisconsin's Fifth Congressional District. The Congressman's Academy Selection Committee put forth its recommendations for nomination after reviewing each individual candidate and conducting in-person interviews.

Of the sixteen students, three have been named principal nominees. If a principal nominee meets the academic, physical, and medical standards set by the academy, they are assured an offer of appointment to the academy. If a principal nominee does not qualify or chooses not to attend, the alternates compete for the vacancy. Alternates are also part of a pool of applicants from which the academies will select the incoming class.
