TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- The 2011 Fall Community College of the Air Force graduation will take place at 2 p.m. Oct. 21 at the base theater. More than 160 of the newest CCAF graduates will be honored. The graduates -- representing all six Air Force commands at Tinker -- achieved a total of 177 Associate's in Applied Science degrees.

Along with their college diploma, the graduates can take with them the pride of having graduated from the world's largest degree granting institution of higher learning. CCAF is regionally accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Beyond the personal benefits and education that a CCAF degree gives these individuals, it also benefits the Air Force and nation since the Airmen continue to serve their service and country long after they leave active duty.

These graduates have the opportunity to receive scholarships from three different sources including the Gerrity Chapter of the Air Force Association, the Tinker Top Three Group, and the Tinker Chiefs Group. There are four awards of $400 each and three awards of $100 each. All graduates have received the applications and criteria and are strongly encouraged to complete the packages and return them to J.D. Coy at the Tinker Education Office.
