WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa said today that Kennedy Salow of Walker has received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., for the 2014-2015 school year.
Salow is the daughter of Kim and Joel Salow. She will graduate in May from Center Point-Urbana High School. Salow participated in student council, basketball, volleyball, track, large group speech, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society, Art Club, and Just Eliminate Lies.
"Admission to the service academies is highly competitive and a great honor," Grassley said. "Students work very hard to earn this kind of opportunity. I wish Kennedy Salow well and thank her for her commitment to serve our nation."
Salow was among the 55 Iowans Grassley nominated this year for appointments to the U.S. service academies. Information about seeking nominations can be found on Grassley`s website.
For more than 200 years, these academies have educated and trained individuals to lead and command the U.S. armed forces.
