Congratulations!!!
Congratulations to Abigail Donnelly, who found out this week she was appointed to the United States Naval Academy! A Naval Academy appointment is a highly competitive, all-expenses-paid offer of admission to the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) (USNA), requiring a congressional nomination and a commitment to serve in the Navy or Marine Corps after graduation, acting as a full scholarship with a commission upon completion. The process involves securing a nomination from a representative or senator, followed by a rigorous review by the academy, where top candidates receive the official "appointment". Of approximately 15,000+ applicants, only about 1,400 receive appointments, so about 10% of students. This is an incredible opportunity and we are so proud of Abigail!
