CASPER, WY – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) announced that he has nominated Etna student Sarah Tallerico for an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy.
“Attending a U.S. service academy is all about responsibility, leadership and academic excellence,” said Barrasso. “Sarah has shown she is highly motivated and possesses the strong leadership skills needed to succeed. It’s an honor to nominate her, and I am confident that if she is offered an appointment, she will represent the Cowboy State well.”
Senator Barrasso annually nominates the most-qualified Wyoming students to compete for acceptance to the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Military and Naval academies. A congressional nomination is just the first step in a competitive process that can lead to an appointment.
Young men and women interested in U.S. service academies apply to members of Congress for nominations. Those nominated are screened by academy officials, and students with the best scholastic and personal credentials are selected for admission.
