falcon foundation<br />

The Falcon Foundation provides a limited number of highly-motivated students the opportunity to prepare for admission to the<br />

<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 schools<br />

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 desire<br />

for an <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> career need additional academic preparation. The Foundation endeavors to meet this need through its sustaining<br />

program of annual scholarship grants. The Foundation recognizes that the request for a scholarship is an alternate plan to obtain<br />

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 donations.<br />

The number of scholarships awarded annually is determined by the funds available. Each sponsorship is dedicated in honor of a<br />

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 able<br />

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 />
