The Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) scholarship program offers monetary scholarships to eligible dependent children to use for educational purposes only. This program began in 1968 with one $1,000 scholarship and now awards five $2,500 each year. This program is available to dependent members of the AFSA and axillary members, which includes Air Force veterans.
The Chief Master Sergeants of the Air Force (CMSAF) scholarship program was created in 1987 after the death of Chief Master Sergeant Richard Kisling. CMSAF awards recipients who are eligible for the Airmen Scholarship fund and are dependents of Air Force personnel or veterans. This program awards vary in amount from year to year. The CMASF program is funded by enlisted or retired airmen and veterans. CMASF differs from all three of the programs by allowing people to nominate individuals other than themselves for the scholarship.
The Airmen Memorial Foundation (AMF) scholarship awards 16 dependent children of Air Force personnel and veterans each year. This program offers 13 $1,000 scholarships and 3 $2,000 scholarships. The AMF awards dependents of Air Force personnel, which encompasses children of Air Force dependents.
All three of these scholarships are awarded through the AFSA and require that all recipients meet the same eligibility requirements. Applications and instructions are available for download at hqafsa.org.
