The deadline for area students to apply to be nominated by Rep. Delahunt for academic year 2010-2011 is November 1, 2009.
At an informational forum sponsored recently by Delahunt at Marshfield’s Martinson Elementary School, local residents consulted personally with a variety of Academy officials. Stressing the superb and tuition-free higher education offered at each of the Service Academies, Rep. Delahunt urged interested South Shore and Cape & Islands high school students to submit a completed application by the upcoming deadline. After November 1, a panel of distinguished local residents will get to work immediately to evaluate and interview nomination candidates. As a result, no applications can be accepted late.
Until the deadline, nomination applications are available by filling out a web-form on the Congressman’s website at http://www.house.gov/delahunt/academy.shtml. For further details students and their families may contact the Congressman’s office at 1-800-794-9911.
The nominations apply to students interested in the US Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy and Merchant Marine Academy. To be eligible, a candidate must be a resident of the Tenth Congressional District and a high school graduate by June 2010.
