U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) today announced the nominations of 50 South Carolina students to the United States Military Service Academies for the class of 2020, including the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.  In advance of this round of nominations, staff from Senator Scott’s state offices hosted twelve information sessions across the state.
“Being able to nominate South Carolinians for admission to U.S. Military Academies is one of the best parts of my job. Each year, I am humbled by the number of applications I get from young people who are willing to make the commitment to serve their country in this capacity,” said Senator Scott.
“I am proud to say that the students in South Carolina are impressive, to say the least, and give me the unique problem of having too many good applications from which to choose.  With such a great pool to choose from, I am confident that these young people will be a positive reflection on our state and will become great leaders in our military.”
The local nomination is as follows: U.S. Air Force Academy – Colorado Springs, CO—  Myers Hamer, Dillon High School.
