U.S. Sen. Brown opens nominations for service academies
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown wants you.
Brown (D-Ohio) on Thursday, Feb. 25, encouraged Ohio students interested in applying to U.S. Military service academies for 2011 admission to seek nomination from the office.
“I am honored to nominate young Ohioans for admission to our nation’s service academies,” Brown said in a media release. “These academies develop the next generation of leaders who will serve our country as military officers.”
Brown nominates up to 10 students annually for each service academy: Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, the Military Academy at West Point and the Merchant Marine Academy.
Student applicants are reviewed by a committee of active and retired military and community leaders appointed by Brown. Selected students are provided with the required congressional recommendation upon applying for admission.
Interested students who meet the eligibility requirements should send their completed application to Brown’s Cleveland office no later than October 1, 2010. The application process is time-intensive, so applicants should plan well in advance.

Inquiries can also be directed to Brown’s academy coordinator at his Cleveland office (888) 896-6446.
