Scholarships

[Butcher]

As a senior, my DS is applying for local scholarships. If he gets into West Point, can any of the scholarships he is awarded go to offset money coming out of his cadet account? This would be the amount of money deducted out of a cadets monthly stipend to help pay for expenses such as uniforms, books, a computer, activity fees, etc.

Scour the USMA site - there is usually guidance for how that works. There have also been multiple threads over the years, might be worth using the Search tool here on SAF.

I felt Alexa-ish. Page 33.

And there are budget books for USNA and USAFA that I just read. All good info. Itemized down to the underwear and calculators. Fun read
