Applications are Being Accepted Now for 2014-2015
The CMP is now taking scholarship applications for the 2014-2015 freshman college year. Scholarships are one-year awards that may be used to fund any accredited, post-secondary education or vocational program. The scholarships are paid to the scholarship recipient but must be countersigned by the financial aid offices of the college where the student is enrolled. (Note: Students planing on enrolling in a military academy are not eligible).

The deadline for CMP Scholarship Application is March 20, 2014. Learn more about the program at the CMP Website Scholarship Page. Click the links below to download Scholarship Regulations or a Scholarship Application Form (as PDF files).

CMP Scholarship Regulations | Scholarship Application Form.

Eligibility requirements for CMP scholarships are:

• Be a U.S. Citizen.
• Be of good moral character.
• Be a graduating high school senior.
• Have achieved a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average.
• Can demonstrate acceptance to a university, college, or trade school leading to a diploma or trade certification.
• Have qualified for CMP JROTC Service Championships, OR have demonstrated rifle or pistol marksmanship competition experience.

So, you have until midnight Tuesday. Year 2011 returns must be post-marked or e-filed by that time, unless you file for an extension. If you do get an extension, be aware that you still have to pay all taxes owed by the deadline. Submitting Form 4868 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time), can give you more time to file your Fed tax return, but it does NOT extend the time to pay. Also, if you need an extension, you may have to file a separate extension request for your state returns.
