The Military Intelligence Corps Association is pleased to announce the creation of an annual scholarship to recognize the professional excellence of two of the Corps’ most outstanding Intelligence analysts. A group of former Intelligence Senior officers have combined their resources to create a scholarship fund to recognize and promote this unique scholarship effort.  The Military Intelligence Corps Association (MICA) is the executive agent and steward for this scholarship program.

All intelligence analysts are eligible for the scholarship award.  The focus however is on mid-grade civilians, NCO’s and Warrant Officers who are assigned to units or agencies focused on conducting analysis and who are active in conducting analysis to support Commanders.
