Wyoming publishes an October 19 filing date, rather than the directory's October 25 date. Status updates, virtual finalist interviews and delegate announcements are separate stages.
Eligibility & application
Junior/senior with an approved elected/appointed leadership role for 2026–2027. The national announcement requires residence in the state where the student attends school; confirm detailed citizenship/residency exceptions with the state administrator. Officer-level JROTC positions may qualify, but ordinary cadet membership does not. The school principal/contact verifies requirements after application submission.
