CIA FIRST Graduate awarded Scholarship to US Air Force Academy

Picture
In June we learned that Chanyuthea Nu, a CIA FIRST International School graduate, will make history by being the first Cambodian National to be accepted into the US Air Force Academy. Funded by the US Government, Yuthea will leave Cambodia on the 17th of June of this year to begin his scholarship, a BA, in Aerospace Engineering.

In a selection process that involves the cooperation between the US embassy and the National Defence University of Cambodia, four Cambodian Nationals are nominated by the US Embassy for further consideration for the program. Application and examination at the National Defense University is a lengthy process which includes completion of a general knowledge exam, English language exam, and a candidate fitness assessment. 

Yuthea, reflecting on the exciting challenge ahead, said “I tried very hard for 9 months with the application and assessment period to get this scholarship so it’s really valuable to me. The strict and rigorous requirements of this scholarship application need applicants to be highly committed. My parents were very happy to hear the news as they know how valuable this scholarship opportunity is. They always advise me to see failure as a stepping stone to success. I did it and it brought me to where I am now. Also, the CIA FIRST  International School curriculum really matches the requirements of the scholarship, especially maths and AP courses.”

Picture
Candidates who are nominated by the US embassy in Cambodia directly apply to the US military academy which requires an SAT score report, physician’s statement, drug and alcohol abuse certificate, candidate activities record issued by the US embassy, candidate personal data record, high school transcript, birth certificate, writing sample, candidate fitness assessment score sheet, American officer evaluation and candidate rank issued by the US embassy, letter of recommendation, tattoo check form, and AP courses of at least 4 credits. Academy.

Speaking on behalf of CIA FIRST International school Oknha Dr. Trang Ly, the Chairman of the Board of Directors said “The school management team and myself are really proud of Yuthea for his great achievement. This success is the pride of the candidate himself, the parents, the school community and Cambodia as a whole. The whole process of this scholarship application is both local and international. Qualification of the Cambodian candidates were compared with that of applicants from many different countries in the world. This clearly reflects the strength of CIA FIRST curriculum which is fully accredited by WASC. CIA FIRST International School is committed to working closely with the Cambodian Ministry of Education to promoting the quality of education in Cambodia so that our human resources are qualified to compete locally and internationally.”

Yuthea will rejoin the Royal Cambodian Armed Force upon his graduation from the US Air Force. ​
