CAPE Career Track Scholarship Presented at BOS Meeting

The 2016 CAPE Career Track Scholarship was formally presented to the 2016 winner at a hearing of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors late last year. The winner, Joe Popovits, is a Mechanical Engineering student at Cal State Los Angeles.

Popovits (pictured sixth from left) joined Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, CSULA Director of Development Dolores Ybarra, Supervisor Hilda Solis, CAPE President Carlos Clayton, CAPE Counsel Blaine Meek, CAPE Vice President Lisa Andres, Supervisor Don Knabe and Supervisor Michael Antonovich on the dais in the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration to receive the scholarship honors and a scroll from Supervisor Solis' office.

Applications for the third year of the scholarship program are now available for engineering students enrolled at Cal State Los Angeles. The goal of the program is to educate students, faculty and the public about the wide variety of professional employee positions with the County of Los Angeles.

Interviews for the 2017 CAPE Career Track Scholarship are scheduled for later this year.
