I was wondering the same thing.Thanks, yes it is similar to getting prep school. It is only available to those who need to strengthen academics. (i.e. those with high academics would not qualify)

That's not accurate. You need to be academically qualified in order to get a Falcon scholarship, and plenty of people who got scholarships my year had relatively high grades and test scores. This can be contrasted with the USAFA prep school, which will accept people who are not qualified academically.
From the website: https://www.usafa.org/FalconFoundation/ :
"Young people are automatically eligible for a Falcon Scholarship by first applying to USAFA. The USAFA Office of Admissions then identifies potential recipients of the Falcon Foundation scholarship from a pool of direct entry applicants who are qualified, but not competitive for entering the next class at USAFA. Those applicants who are deemed qualified but not competitive are rank ordered and contacted for consideration of a Falcon Foundation Scholarship."
What is the difference between qualified and competitive?
Thanks everyone!
