EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Now in its 10th year, AAFES' education rewards initiative provides a booklet with complimentary offers and coupons for students in grades one through 12 who maintain a "B" average or better under the "You Made the Grade" program.

Each booklet contains an entry form for a quarterly drawing in which three winners are randomly awarded savings bonds in $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 denominations.

"All authorized exchange shoppers, who are full-time students, are eligible to pick up a booklet and register for the savings bonds every time they receive a qualifying report card," said Ronald Daugherty AAFES' general manager. "The program offers a terrific practical learning experience for our military students; it pays to learn."

To receive the AAFES "You Made the Grade" booklet, students must present a valid military ID card and proof of an overall "B" or better average to their local BX/PX. Students may receive one coupon package and enter the savings bond drawing for every qualifying report card. Military Families can contact their local AAFES Main Store Manager or General Manager for more information at 850-678-6842 ext 231.
