Graduate Studies and Scholarship
The Graduate Studies and Scholarship program helps all qualified cadets compete for opportunities to attend graduate school following graduation from the U.S Air Force Academy.Cadets have earned the prestigious Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and other distinguished scholarships to advance their education and careers as commissioned officers in the Air Force and Space Force. Many of these officers will return to teach at the Academy later in their careers. Since 2021, close to 20% of the graduating student body has been placed into graduate programs.
