MANCHESTER — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) has nominated 41 New Hampshire students to the United States Service Academies. The nomination from Senator Shaheen recommends students for acceptance into the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and West Point.

"I applaud the impressive work these students are doing in their communities and their willingness to serve in military leadership. Our nation's service academies are very demanding, but I'm confident they are up to the challenge."
