We are proud to announce the winners of the the Hampton Roads Public Works Academy (HRPWA) Scholarships. Three $1000 scholarships for post-high school education were generously donated to HRPWA by The American Public Works Association mid-Atlantic chapter. Students are selected based on academic achievement and community involvement.
New Horizons Career & Technical Education Center HRPWA Scholarship Recipients
Neekio Gipson will be working in our internship program this summer with Newport News Public Works Street Repair Division. He wants to begin his career with them and continue his education with New Horizons’ Center for Apprenticeship & Adult Training (CFAAT) Program to learn Plumbing at night.
Carlos Lewis will be continuing his education at Norfolk State University this Fall, and he will study Construction Management.
The College and Career Academy at Pruden HRPWA Scholarship Recipient
Another Well-Deserving Scholarship Recipient!
We are proud and honored to announce this year’s (2023-2024) Hampton Roads Public Works Academy (HRPWA) Scholarship Recipient, Jacie Guerra!
Jacie hails from Nansemond River High School, located in Suffolk, Virginia. She enrolled in CCAP’s Cybersecurity Operations program at The College and Career Academy at Pruden (CCAP) in the 2022-2023 School Year. Jacie was one of CCAP’s strongest Ambassador Students, always willing to lend a hand. Because of her hard work, dedication, academic excellence, and willingness to participate in “all things CCAP”, I felt that she deserved to be this year’s HRPWA Scholarship recipient.
Upon graduation, Jacie will be attending Old Dominion University this fall, majoring in Cybersecurity. Hopefully, she will return to Suffolk and become a Cybersecurity Operations Specialist for the City of Suffolk Public Works Department. We wish her well in her future endeavors!
This two-year program is centered on high school students from New Horizons Career and Technical Education Center, The College and Career Academy at Pruden, and Virginia Beach Technical and Career Educational Center. Students that are recommended by their teacher and accepted into this program after an interview process, will be required to meet some basic criteria. If these conditions are not met, a student will be released from the program.
- Complete an application
- Have good attendance
- Maintain their Career and Technical course average of a ‘C’ or better
- Complete a summer internship
- Display good work ethics
Upon successful completion students will receive their certificate, which among other benefits, will highlight them as first priority for public works and utilities positions. In most cases, positions will be available immediately after program completion.
