AFA Announces 2010 AFA-FCEF ROTC Scholarships

Arlington, VA – The Air Force Association (AFA) recently announced the two recipients of the jointly sponsored AFA – First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF) Air Force ROTC Scholarships. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 check from FCEF at their college.

The scholarship is for Air Force ROTC cadets who are pursuing an undergraduate degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math subject area. The award is determined on the basis of both academic merit and financial need. Air Force ROTC Headquarters assisted in the selection of the award recipients. The scholarships were presented at the Air Force Association’s Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition, held in the Washington, DC area in September.

“Both of these scholarship recipients have demonstrated a passion for excellence,” said S. Sanford Schlitt, AFA’s Vice Chairman of the Board of Aerospace Education. “AFA is proud to be able to recognize their past efforts and support them in pursuing their goals.”

“FCEF feels privileged to recognize the commitment and the continued success of this year’s scholarship recipients,” said Vickie Mauldin, FCEF’s Chief Executive Officer. “Both cadets have a great dedication to their future, and we are more than thrilled to support their efforts.”

The recipients of the 2010 AFA-FCEF Air Force ROTC Scholarship are as follows:

Cadet Kyle Adkison, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana: Cadet Adkison is pursuing a mathematics degree from Tulane University.
