The Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) awards various grants through the centerpiece of AFAS education support, The General Henry H. Arnold Education Grant. The Arnold Education Grant is competitive in its needs-based selection criteria and is uniquely tailored to recognize the proper weighing of family income and education costs.

Grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 are awarded to eligible Air Force dependents each year. The specific amount awarded correlates to a student's particular level of financial need.

Eligibility: AFAS education support is available to dependent sons and daughters of active duty, Title 10 Reservists on extended active duty, Title 32 Guard performing full-time active duty, retired, retired Reserve and deceased Air Force members, as well as spouses of active duty and Title 10 Reservists, and widows/widowers.
