Memorial Scholarships
There are several Memorial Scholarships available to Detachment 90 cadets in addition to AFROTC scholarships. These scholarships are funded in part by Detachment 90 alumni and are awarded to deserving cadets at the end of each year. They help us to remember those who have come before us, and how they still impact our lives. They honor officers who have come through and commissioned from CSU since it was founded in 1870, over 150 years ago.
