falcon foundation<br />
The Falcon Foundation provides a limited number of highly motivated students the opportunity to prepare for admission to<br />
the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> by providing scholarships at specially selected civilian junior colleges and preparatory<br />
schools in various parts of the nation.<br />
The Foundation recognizes that many deserving young people with outstanding potential for an <strong>Academy</strong> education and a<br />
desire for an <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> career need additional academic preparation. The Foundation endeavors to meet this need through its<br />
sustaining program of annual scholarship grants. The Foundation recognizes that the request for a scholarship is an alternate<br />
plan to obtain additional education because the applicant has failed to gain an appointment on their first attempt.<br />
The Foundation acquires funds necessary to undertake the scholarship program from memberships, contributions and<br />
donations. The number of scholarships awarded annually is determined by the funds available. Each sponsorship is dedicated<br />
in honor of a pioneer in aviation or individuals who have distinguished themselves in aviation or defense positions.<br />
Each scholarship award provides a significant portion of the cost of room, board and tuition. Scholarship recipients must be<br />
able to pay for transportation to and from school and for clothing, laundry and other personal expenses.<br />
Young people who desire to apply for a Falcon<br />
Foundation Scholarship should send their requests to:<br />
