2025 Council of College and Military Educators (CCME) Scholarship Winners
Miguel Capote (’26) Master of Business Administration in Aviation
Tymond Dailey (’23) Airline Management Certificate
U.S. Air Force Technical Sergeant Miguel Capote began his academic journey at Embry-Riddle after receiving strong recommendations from aviation professionals across maintenance, logistics and flight operations. Currently serving as an air advisor, Capote is pursuing his MBA in Aviation with the goal of transitioning into aviation safety — ultimately aspiring to serve with the FAA or NTSB and later become an airport director. Capote credits the Worldwide College of Business for its flexibility and support, which have allowed him to complete coursework while traveling on military missions throughout Latin America. Faculty responsiveness and the consistent guidance of his academic advisor, Crystal Jones, have played a pivotal role in helping him balance military duties with academic progress. “To any student balancing multiple responsibilities, I would say — don’t wait for the perfect time to begin. Leverage the support available and take consistent steps forward,” said Capote. He describes his Embry-Riddle experience as: “Challenging but rewarding — a journey shaped by flexibility, strong support and shared industry experience.”
Tymond Dailey, whose professional background lies in logistics and business operations, is continuing his career after receiving an M.S. in Aviation Maintenance from Embry-Riddle in 2023 by pursuing the Airline Management Certificate. His goal is to transition into airport operations, and this program marks his first experience with the Worldwide Campus. The flexible structure of his coursework — particularly the interactive EagleVision sessions, a virtual classroom setting — has allowed Dailey to remain engaged while balancing multiple professional commitments. He emphasizes the importance of time management and consistency, both of which have been key to his academic success. “My advice to future students is this: education is one of many paths to success. But if you choose to pursue it, give it your full commitment,” said Dailey, “discipline and time management make all the difference in education and career success.”
