PREAMBLE

The Canadian Military Colleges Faculty Association supports post-secondary education and is committed to life-long learning. One way the Association demonstrates this is through a scholarship plan. This plan is open to dependent members of Association members.

Every academic year, up to two (2) deserving students attending any accredited post-secondary institution will each be granted a scholarship of $2,000.00. Whenever possible, the association might offer a third scholarship; the offer of a third scholarship is contingent to the availability of funds within the designated fiscal year.
