TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- The 2015 Fall Community College of the Air Force graduation will begin at 2 p.m. today in the Tinker Club. The ceremony will honor the achievement of 142 of the newest CCAF graduates. The graduates will be receiving a total of 149 Associates 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 Air Force Association, the Tinker Chiefs Group and the Tinker Top Three Group. There are three awards of $400 each, and two awards of $100 each.
