Finn Ludwig of West Windsor will enter the United States Naval Academy. He is a June graduate of High School North.

U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) announced the names of the students from the 12th Congressional District of New Jersey who will attend the United States Military Service Academies beginning this fall. As a member of Congress, Holt may nominate highly qualified New Jersey students to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Naval Academy.

The selection process is extremely competitive and considers each candidate’s academic accomplishments, physical training, leadership potential, extracurricular activities, and other proven abilities. Graduates of the military academies are commissioned as officers in the U.S. military.

“These students have demonstrated extraordinary leadership, intelligence, commitment to public service, and strength of character,” Holt said. “It is an honor to recognize these accomplished young New Jerseyans, and I know they will serve America with distinction.”
