S-3 Viking Association Perennial Scholarship now established with Tailhook Educational Foundation (TEF)!

In June 2024, the first-ever S-3 Viking Association Scholarship will be announced by TEF.  We have now exceeded our initial goal of $60K and therefore can now award a $3,500 scholarship annually.  Selection preference will be given to applicants with a family history of service in the S-3 community, if otherwise qualified in all respects.

To qualify for a Tailhook Educational Foundation scholarship, an individual must graduate from high school and be the natural, step, or adopted child or grandchild of a current or former (U.S. Navy / U.S. Marine Corps / U.S. Coast Guard) Naval Aviator, Naval Flight Officer, or Naval Aircrewman. Also eligible are individuals or children/grandchildren of individuals who are serving or have served on board a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier. Eligible applicants must also be accepted for undergraduate enrollment at an accredited college.

Through generous donations, the S-3 Viking Association Scholarship currently has a balance of $65,000.  We are working toward a new goal of $70K so we can permanently award an annual $3500 scholarship.  We will continue to move the goalpost as donations are received to raise the annual scholarship level. 

Online donations are now accepted!  Look for the drop down tab under "S-3 Scholarship fund" at the top and click on the "donate now"tab.
