CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Office of U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is accepting nomination applications for the U.S. service academy class of 2031, according to the senator’s office.
Scott is able to nominate a limited number of South Carolina students for the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, according to the office. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a congressional nomination, the office said.
“The United States service academies shape the next generation of leaders dedicated to serving our great nation. I am honored to nominate these exceptional young men and women from South Carolina each year as they answer the call to service and take the next step in pursuing academic excellence and leadership,” Scott said, according to the office.
