Five students from the Hampton Bays School District, who are enrolled in Eastern Suffolk BOCES career and technical education programs this school year, were recently presented with scholarships from the Southampton Business Alliance.
The scholarships will help defray the out-of-pocket cost of tools and other gear the students are required to supply for their future studies in the building trades, specifically carpentry, HVAC, plumbing and heating, and electrical.
This is the third year that the SBA has provided scholarships with a goal to help build a pipeline of skilled workers on the East End of Long Island.
The Hampton Bays School District extends its congratulations to the following students:
Kevin Aguilar, Electrical
Matthew Drake, Plumbing and Heating
Raymond Drake, Plumbing and Heating
Steven Japa Idrovo, Plumbing and Heating
Noah Thompson, Electrical
