Gliding Information
(SEMMES, AL) - The Ira C. Eaker Association, (ICEA) dedicated to
producing excellence in Cadet Programs, has announced that they will be offering

priorities have been changed to get the funds out to newer cadets, just starting in the
program. Scholarships will be awarded in the following precedence:
- 1st - Cadets with ability and financial need, requesting funds to
defray the cost of joining CAP or purchasing basic uniform items.
- 2nd - Cadets with ability and financial need, requesting funds to
defray the cost of attending a first encampment.
- 3rd - Cadets with ability and financial need, requesting funds to
defray the cost of attending a first national special activity.
- 4th - Cadets with ability and financial need, requesting funds to
defray other CAP costs.

Cadets who qualify for the scholarship should write a cover letter,
explaining the need, amount desired, Name, Grade, and Contact information. CAP

including name, CAP Grade, contact information, and a signature line.
After getting the Squadron Commander to sign, the Cadet will mail the
application in. Scholarship applications are due by 1 April, 1998, and should be mailed
to the ICEA Scholarship chair, C/Col Matthew R. "HoyZa" Heusser, at:
