Scott to host reception for academy nominees

U.S. Rep. David Scott will host a reception Saturday, April 2, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in his Jonesboro district office (173 Main Street) to honor all participating students of the 13th District's second annual military academy nomination process. During the reception, Scott will announce his primary selections for student nominees to attend each of the four military academies.

To be considered for an appointment to either the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy or U.S. Air Force Academy, an applicant must first be nominated by a member of Congress. Applicants are evaluated on the basis of academic performance, leadership ability, moral character, adequacy of preparation, and commitment to attend a military academy. Communities represented by this year's student applicants include Palmetto, Fairburn, Fayetteville, Riverdale, Jonesboro, Hampton, Rex, Ellenwood, Conyers, and Jackson.
