Service Academy Nomination



The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

Representative Boebert continues to be inspired by the young people across Colorado's 4th District stepping up to serve our country. Our application to apply for a Congressional Nomination is OPEN as of March 20, 2026, for the class of 2031. Our application will close on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 11:59 PM.
