WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- Almost 230 Airmen at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base received their Community College of the Air Force associate degrees May 9 at Kenney Hall in the Air Force Institute of Technology. The ceremony included the graduates of both the fall 2016 and the spring 2017 CCAF classes.
Eight Airmen earned two degrees.
The graduation was open to the public. Friends, family, co-workers and supervisors attended to honor these Airmen on a key milestone achievement in their careers.
Each year, several scholarships are offered that cover costs, ranging from $400 in tuition per recipient to books and supplies.
The CCAF is a federally chartered degree-granting institution that serves the Air Force’s enlisted total force.
