WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) today announced that he has nominated 43 students from across the state of Alabama, including three from Baldwin County, to attend United States service academies. The service academies include the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
- Noah Shelton Engel of Fairhope, Alabama, received a nomination to attend the U.S. Naval Academy. He is the son of Connie and Kenneth Engel.
- Nicholas Weldon Hamby of Foley, Alabama, also received a nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy. He is the son of Sandra and Michael Weldon.
- Justin Traddwick McDaniel of Fairhope, Alabama, received a nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy, as well. He is the son of Laura McDaniel and Tradd McDaniel.
“I am honored to nominate Noah Engel, Nicholas Hamby, and Justin McDaniel to the U.S. Naval Academy,” said Senator Shelby. “They have demonstrated a strong commitment to excelling inside and outside the classroom through both their grades and various achievements. I believe they will represent Alabama with distinction.”
In order to be considered for a service academy nomination, applicants must be residents of Alabama and complete the required ACT or SAT exams. They must also provide letters of recommendation, an official school transcript, a qualifying medical examination, and a completed application form.
Although Senator Shelby has nominated these students, the academy to which they received a nomination will make the final admission decision.
