U.S. SENATE News:
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) has announced the names of the 39 New Mexico students who have received his nomination to attend a United States service academy beginning in 2020.
 
Udall nominated Los Alamos student Roshan Prasad to the U.S. Naval Academy and Trystan Osburn to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
 
A congressional, vice-presidential, or service-connected nomination is required for admission to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
 
Students receiving Udall’s nomination completed a competitive application process, which included interviews with the senator’s Military Academy Service Panels, comprised of active duty service members, veterans and community leaders.
 
“New Mexico has a long and proud tradition of service, and it is an honor to support this next generation of leaders that I have nominated to the service academies this year,” Udall said. “The United States service academies provide a top-notch education and unparalleled opportunities for students to excel in both military and civilian life. And I am confident that these exceptional young people who have demonstrated strong leadership in both their academic and extracurricular activities, along with a commitment to serve – will make New Mexico proud. They represent some of our state’s best and brightest, and I wish them luck as they move on to the next phase of the admissions process.”
 
Nominated students will now compete for admission to their service academy over the coming months. Those admitted will begin classes in the summer of 2020 as members of the class of 2024.
