EATON, CO—The Office of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-04) has officially opened the application process for Class of 2030 nominations to a U.S. Service Academy.

“Last year I had the privilege of nominating 12 of the Third District’s best and brightest to the U.S. Service Academies,” stated Congresswoman Boebert. “These patriotic young men and women who care deeply about the future of America and public service have committed to serving at least five years in the military following graduation. I look forward to the selection process this year and can’t wait to meet our district’s applicants who are willing to serve our great country!”

If you are a high school student interested in serving our country by attending a military academy, or if you know of a high school student who might be interested, the Service Academy Nomination application is now open for the Class of 2030. The Fall 2025 deadline for applications is September 12, 2025.
