Temecula, Murrieta U.S. Military Academy Applications Due In October

TEMECULA, CA — Temecula and Murrieta high school students interested in applying to the U.S. military academies, it's time to get your applications into your congressman. This week, Rep. Darrell Issa (CA-48) shared that his district's upcoming deadline for high school students is Oct. 25, 2024, at 4 p.m.

Applications are for upcoming graduates seeking nominations to the U.S. military academies for the graduating military classes of 2029. Issa represents Riverside cities of Temecula and Murrieta, as well as San Diego County, including the communities of Fallbrook, Valley Center, Ramona, Escondido, Santee, Lakeside, Poway, and the mountain and desert areas of the San Diego-Imperial County line.

“Each year, it is a great honor to nominate esteemed young men and women to attend the U.S. military service academies,” said Rep Issa. “These students are the leaders of tomorrow who answer the call of their country and volunteer to stand in service to protect and defend America.”

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
