Coast Guard Academy looking for sponsor families for Class of 2021
The Coast Guard Academy is looking for sponsor families for the incoming Class of 2021.
During the cadets' first year at the academy they will experience a drastic transition from a civilian to a military way of life. Some cadets adjust well, while others have a more difficult time. The Sponsor Program provides cadets with families who can help provide some relief, advice, and guidance.
To be eligible for the program, applicants, both military and civilian, must be at least 28 years old and live within 25 miles of the Coast Guard Academy (exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis). Active duty military must have a rank/rate of E-7 or O-3 and above to be considered. All potential sponsors may undergo a background security check and will provide two references with their application.
If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor family or have any questions about the program go to www.uscga.edu/sponsorfamilyprogram. You can fill out the online application at www.uscga.edu/cadetsponsor.
If you have additional questions, contact the Sponsor Program office at (860) 701-6119 or email Lisa.K.Jacobson@uscga.edu
