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.  Each year a $3,000 scholarship will be awarded.  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 $46,000.  In order to fully fund this perennial scholarship going forward, we need to reach a balance of $60,000 in our Tailhook Educational Foundation account.  This will ensure that the Viking Association scholarship will be funded in perpetuity.  We have a limited time (about 2 years) to reach this level.  Both the Viking Association and TEF are non-profit organizations and your tax-deductible donation to the S-3 Viking Association Scholarship Fund will create a lasting legacy for our community.  Please help!

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.
