We are proud and honored to announce HRPWA’s Cadets, Yessenia Winston and Faith Rivers as recipients of the Hampton Roads Public Works Academy Scholarship!

Yessenia and Faith both hail from Suffolk Public Schools located in Suffolk, Virginia (Lakeland High School and King’s Fork High School), respectively. Both students were enrolled in the Cybersecurity Operations program at The College and Career Academy at Pruden (CCAP). They excelled academically at their base schools, in addition to demonstrating exemplary performance in their Career and Technical Education (CTE) program at CCAP.

These hard-working cadets successfully completed two (2) years in their CCAP program, in which they were exceedingly committed and dedicated. Thus far, they are upholding the ideals of what it means to be outstanding students.  Based on their commitment, dedication, consistency, and service to their community, both Yessenia and Faith were selected as this year’s recipients of the HRPWA Scholarship.  

Upon graduation, Yessenia plans to attend Christopher Newport University and Faith plans to attend Virginia State University this fall.  We wish them well in their future endeavors!
