VIDEO | 02:25 | The Charles McGee Leadership Award is a 2-year scholarship to help relieve financial burdens and allow all qualified Air Force ROTC cadets to focus on their academic and leadership development. Named after Brig. Gen. Charles McGee, a fighter pilot and Tuskegee Airman during World War II, CMLA marks a significant change in how scholarships are awarded and represents a valuable tool for AFROTC leadership to grant financial assistance to qualified cadets who had not previously received a scholarship upon entry into the program.
