Indiana Academy Students Receive Congressional Nomination

Friday, December 12, 2025

Admission to the country’s prestigious military academies typically requires a nomination from an elected member of the U.S. Congress. This year, two Indiana Academy students received nominations from U.S. Congressman Jefferson Shreve (Indiana’s 6th District).

Academy senior Desmond Bex received nominations to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point.

Academy senior Benjamin Walker received nominations to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis and to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point.

Desmond and Benjamin were two of just nineteen students nominated by Congressman Shreve this year. Congratulations!
