Rep. Scott Tipton is accepting applications from students interested in attending a U.S. service academy next year. The deadline to apply is Oct. 6.
Each year, members of Congress may nominate a limited number of people from their districts to the U.S. Service Academies – including the Air Force, West Point, Annapolis and Merchant Marine.
Tipton nominated 22 students from the 3rd Congressional District to U.S. Service Academies in 2014. None were from Montezuma County.
