Congressman Johnson Nominates 23 Fourth District Students to U.S. Military Service Academies
Dear Friends,
I’m pleased to announce I have nominated 23 Fourth District students to the United States Military Service Academies for the class of 2020.
In advance of this round of nominations, my staff held more than 24 information sessions at schools throughout the district, which includes parts of DeKalb, Newton and Gwinnett counties and all of Rockdale County.
Putting forward nominations of Fourth District students for admission to the U.S. Military Academies is one of the most important jobs we do each year.
The nomination process is not easy. It’s a long road, and I congratulate all our nominees. All of our outstanding nominees are at or near the top of their class in academics, athletics and community service.
It’s quite an accomplishment and all our students and their parents should be justifiably proud. Since 2007, we have grown our Academy Nomination process from about three students a year to more than 20 annually, and I have had the honor of awarding more than $18 million in service academy scholarships.
