Rationale:
The Graduate Corps Cadet Post-High School Education Scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to graduate corps cadets who desire to enroll in an accredited program of Post-High school education. This could be a four year college, junior college, technical school, trade school, etc.
This scholarship is designed to be an incentive for students to engage and complete the corps cadet program. By completing the full course, leaders will have additional time for discipling and equipping young people in their leadership skills and Bible knowledge. We hope this encourages all interested young people to participate in this excellent discipleship program.
General Guideline:
A graduate corps cadet will receive $1,000.00 per year (a maximum of $4,000.00) over a four year period for Post-High school education, undergraduate or graduate studies. The Graduate Corps Cadet Post-High School Education Scholarship is not retroactive for previous years of completed Post-High school education.
