Lead Program Airmen’s path to AF Academy
Currently, there are 135 slots available for appointments to the Air Force Academy through the Leaders Encouraging Airmen Development Program. LEAD is an ongoing Air Force effort to provide Airmen with the opportunity to excel by offering them appointments to the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. Each year, commanders nominate highly qualified Airmen to attend the academy prep school with the intention of an academy appointment to follow. Airmen compete for 50 prep school slots and a potential 85 direct appointments to the academy.
Airmen must be U.S. citizens or be able to obtain citizenship before entry into the academy the following year. Candidates must be unmarried and have no dependents. In addition, Airmen must not have passed their 22nd birthday by July 1 of the entry year into the prep school or 23rd birthday if receiving a direct appointment to the academy. To compete for either the prep school or a direct appointment to the academy, Airmen must complete AF Form 1786 and have their unit commander complete a statement on their character, ability and motivation to become an officer. The form and statement must be sent no later than Jan. 31 of the entry year. For more information, contact your local education office.
