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 />
