CadetInvest Application Guide

You MUST complete the financial aid application prior to 31 Dec at 1200 CST if you desire to receive a portion of the generous financial aid available to cadets.  The opportunity to apply for specific programs comes around February of next year.  For some programs, such as Cadet Wings, no further application is needed as this is purely a financial aid program designed to pay for cadet flight training.  For other programs, such as TOP, cadets will need to apply for specific National Flight Academies as the dates become available.  

 

Please use the following guidelines to help you navigate through the application process for CAP Cadet Financial Aid to include scholarships, and various paid flight training programs.
