CCLF offers scholarships to hardworking and dedicated CAP cadets who would like financial help to attend leadership focused CAP activities. If you are attending a leadership related National Cadet Special Activity or encampment this summer (or any leadership activity at any time of the year for that matter), the CCLF may grant you a scholarship for a percentage ofthe activity cost. The application process is extremely simple, and more often than not, the CCLF will graciously provide a scholarship. Personally, I have applied for a scholarship through CCLF more than once, and was blessed with a scholarship each time. focused cadet activity that you are attending this summer, check out the Cadet Character and Leadership Foundation website. If you have any questions about CCLF scholarships, please feel free to contact: C/Col Piper R.

Many employers will match charitable contributions made by their employees or employees’ spouses to encourage philanthropic giving! The matching gift program is great for maximizing your dollar, as many employers will match your gift dollar for dollar or even triple your gift! Matching gifts will be allocated to the donor's designation (if requested) unless company policy requires distribution to a general fund. To find out if your employer participates in this program, please visit the the Washington Wing webpage, and make sure to talk to your HR department to find out if they have a similar program! It's almost like getting paid to volunteer! -- -- -- -------------------------------------- -- --------- - -------- -------- ---- -- ---------------------- -------- Are you a cadet in need of financial assistance?

CadetInvest is CAP scholarship program, but just leaving it at that doesn't give the program enough justice.
