About
The Air Force Musicians Association Foundation, Inc. (AFMAF) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation and is registered with the Secretary of State of Colorado. The complete By-Laws are available upon request from the AFMAF Executive Director.
The purpose of the educational scholarship program is to help AFMA members and their families by providing money that will allow them to further their music education. The Board of Governors determines the amount awarded to the recipient, and it will be dependent upon funds available and the recipient’s needs.
