SVCTE awards
Milpitas High School student Annika Wang was awarded a $500 McKinley Educational Initiative Scholarship at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE) center’s 56th annual Awards Ceremony.
Milpitas High was also represented among 92 students who received the LeRoy Morell Trust Tool Scholarship. Daniel Amezcua was among the 50 electrical maintenance students recognized, and Jacob Lima Navarro was one of 42 awarded a tool scholarship in heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
The tool scholarships were established in honor of LeRoy Morell, a 1938 graduate of San Jose Technical High School. Each recipient received tools valued at approximately $750 to support them in the next phase of their education or career.
Clean energy grant
Milpitas was recently awarded a grant from Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The city applied for the Sunnyvale-based nonprofit’s Competitive Community Grant Program and is one of six grant recipients; the others are Saratoga, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara County.
SVCE awarded a total of $3.4 million to be used for projects and initiatives that support clean energy in buildings and transportation and inspire community engagement for clean, electric solutions. About $3 million will be used for capital improvement or demonstration projects, according to SVCE. The remaining $400,000 will be used for engagement programs.
“As funding is cut at a federal level, these grants will help continue the momentum to build a clean energy future led by local action,” read an SVCE press release.
