Scholarships
The Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, San Diego Chapter, values and believes in the development of our future STEM workforce. Since 1993, AFCEA has awarded over half a million dollars to San Diego area students to fulfill their dreams of a college education. The scholarships are available to San Diego County graduating high school seniors who will attend a four-year college or university in the United States and major in a STEM field or, in the case of the AFCEAN Dependent Scholarship, a full-time college student majoring in a STEM field at an accredited four-year college. There are several types of scholarships with one common scholarship application. Evaluation Committee members will consider candidates for the most applicable category for which they qualify.
