Scholarship payments are accepted after Aug 15 for fourth-class cadets (freshman) and anytime for third-class (sophomore), second-class (junior), and first-class cadets (seniors). Agencies should issue scholarship proceeds directly to the cadet. When a scholarship agency is unable to make payment directly to the cadet, the scholarship may be accepted for credit to the cadet’s pay account provided there are no restrictions on the scholarship and the check is payable to “US TREASURY” and then mail to: HQ USAFA/FMF, 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 2200, USAF Academy, CO 80840-5035. For questions, call 719-333-6988 OR 6982. It is recommended that the cadet’s full name and social security number be annotated in the memo line of the check. Restrictions are conditions or limitations that specific agencies place on the use of their scholarship funds. Restrictions examples include “must be used for tuition, room and/or board”, “student is required to maintain a specific GPA”, or “scholarship funds will be paid back if cadet candidate disenrolls”. Scholarships without restrictions will be treated as non-restrictive and accepted. Once a scholarship is accepted is it never refunded to the agency granting the scholarship, even if the cadet or cadet candidate disenrolls.
