NSCC INFORMATION LETTER 8-00

1. 2000 NSCC/NLCC General Training Grants. Refs (a) and (b) announce 2000 summer training opportunities for all hands. In support of these summer training opportunities we anticipate a limited amount of money available for award as summer training grants for deserving cadets who would not otherwise be able to participate in this training. General training grants may be requested for either $50.00 or $100.00 depending on need and total cost/length of training. Guidelines for the NSCC/NLCC general training grants are as follow:

• Unit CO's are to send letter requests to reach NHQ not later than 1 May. Fax and E-mail requests also welcome. All requests should be sent attention: Capt Nyland.
• Identify by name and rank, cadets for whom training grants are requested. For each cadet provide brief justification. If for more than 1 cadet, list cadets and justification in priority order, most deserving first.
• Limit justification to not more than 3 or 4 lines of text. Succinctly support cadet need and merit.
• Grant monies awarded will be sent to Unit CO's in early May.

2. In addition to the above NSCC/NLCC general training grants, the following specific training grants will also be available in support of 1999 summer training.
