Congressman Guthrie Announces Important Dates and Information Regarding U.S. Service Academy Applications and Congressional App Challenge Participation
Bowling Green, KY: Last week, Congressman Guthrie (KY-02) hosted his annual Service Academy Information Night to provide prospective applicants to U.S. Service Academies and collegiate ROTC programs with information about the application process.
"As a graduate of West Point, it is an honor to have the privilege of playing a role in nominating future leaders in the United States military," said Congressman Guthrie. "The young people who apply to and attend our academies are among the brightest and hardest-working people in their generation. I know that the future of our military and our great country will be in great hands through their continued success."
As the representative of Kentucky's Second District, Congressman Guthrie has the distinct honor and privilege of nominating a limited number of people to our nation's service academies. Choosing to attend a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve our great country in the military upon graduation.
In addition to the unmatched opportunity of achieving the highest goals and standards in the area of service, you will also receive a competitive and high-quality education. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine academies are all excellent institutions for higher education and training.
Students interested in applying for a Congressional nomination to a U.S. Service Academy must complete this form and return it to Congressman Guthrie's Bowling Green District Office by November 13, 2025. Additional requirements and information about applying for a Congressional nomination can be found here.
