Hunt Family Scholarship, with an application deadline in January, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The Hunt Family Scholarship is awarded to a deserving cadet and can be used for flight instruction, academics, or to attend a National Cadet Special Activity (NCSA) or National Flight Academy (NFA). Academic Scholarship applicants must have earned a Billy Mitchell Award or higher before applying. They must be a high school senior, high school graduate, or hold a GED; and must be accepted to a college or school, or provide proof that an application has been made. Applicants must attend a post-secondary school or college and must be enrolled in a course of study during the academic year for which the scholarship is awarded. Academic Scholarships are monetary awards used to support CAP Cadets pursuing their undergraduate or graduate education. Activity Scholarship applicants must be a current active CAP Cadet in good standing during and throughout the year. Flight Scholarship applicants must have a Third Class Medical Certificate and valid student pilot certificate. However, applicants are not required to have these at the time that they apply. If selected, they will have to send a copy of both certificates in order to claim their scholarship. Applicants must also be a current cadet. Academic and Flight scholarships applicants must submit at least one but not more than three letters of recommendation written by someone who is familiar with the cadets' accomplishments in CAP. They must also submit a resume detailing any academic, community or CAP activities not addressed on previous tabs of the application.
