FOUNDATION OF THE 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION ASSOCIATION

To provide financial assistance in the form of scholarship grants toward the pursuit of an advanced education for descendants of Soldiers who served in designated qualifying units which were involved in the battles of the Ia Drang valley during the period 3 through 19 November, 1965. The source of funding for these scholarship grants is to be derived solely from contributions specifically designated for this element of the trust program by the donor and not in competition with other elements of the program

The 1st Cavalry Division Association is a non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit, Soldiers and Veterans fraternal organization that has over 30,000 active members. Our membership once consisted of Troopers who rode horses in the 1940’s through Troopers who ride Abrams tanks and Apache helicopters today. Our equipment, tactics and the locations where we served may be different, but we all share a commonality of serving in the best Division in the United States Army – the 1st Cavalry Division.
