What is the Cadet Encampment Assistance Program?
CEAP is an Air Force Program to help cadet families attend Encampment. Every cadet that has applied in advance has received full Encampment tuition and uniform assistance. The tuition is paid directly to the Wing. No reimbursement process. We expect CEAP to open applications in March. This means cadets can attend Encampment for free with CEAP.
