WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) today announced that he has nominated 43 students from across the state of Alabama, including one from Mobile 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.
- Anya Lee Doyle of Mobile, Alabama, received a nomination to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. She is the daughter of Melanie and Kenneth Doyle.
“I am honored to nominate Anya Doyle to the U.S. Air Force Academy,” said Senator Shelby. “She has demonstrated a strong commitment to excelling inside and outside the classroom through both her grades and various achievements. I believe she 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 this student, the academy to which she received a nomination will make the final admission decision.
