What Does The AFA Do For CAP?
For many years, the Air Force Association has recognized the significant aerospace contributions of Civil Air Patrol to our nation. In an effort to demonstrate the esteem AFA holds for the work CAP volunteer members accomplish throughout our country, the AFA provides Aerospace Education grants and awards for CAP’s adult, educator, and cadet/youth members. Each partnership program is explained in the bold link for each area below.
- AFA’S NATIONAL CAP AEROSPACE EDUCATION CADET OF THE YEAR AWARD
- AFA’S CAP UNIT OUTSTANDING CADET OF THE YEAR RECOGNITION
- AFA’s CAP UNIT AE GRANT (click HERE to view a short video of a Robotics project funded with an AFA AE Grant for CAP Units!)
- AFA’S CAP EDUCATOR MEMBER AE GRANT
NOTE: In addition to the programs above, an AFA representative annually attends CAP’s National Summer Conference to recognize, each with a special AFA plaque, CAP’s Senior Member of the Year and CAP’s Cadet of the Year.
Civil Air Patrol expresses sincere appreciation for all the Air Force Association does to educate, advocate, and support the Aerospace/STEM Education mission for our nation.
