PINEVILLE, La. – Cleco said applications are being accepted for its Power of a Promise Scholarship, which includes full tuition, books, a stipend for incidentals and a paid internship at the company’s Brame Energy Center near Boyce.
The Power of a Promise Scholarship is part of Cleco’s $1.0 million corporate contribution to Central Louisiana Technical Community College (CLTCC) to help fund training, curriculum development and scholarships.
The scholarship is designed to support economically disadvantaged, female and minority high school juniors and seniors who have excelled academically and who plan to attend CLTCC in Alexandria and pursue a diploma in industrial manufacturing technology.
“This annual scholarship is an opportunity for under-represented populations in our communities to become a part of the energy industry, and it supports our commitment to create an inclusive work environment and build a diverse workforce,” said Samantha Stanley, talent coordinator at Cleco.
The goal is to award at least one scholarship for the upcoming academic year. Peabody Magnet High School seniors, Jeremy Warden and Christiana Thomas, received Power of a Promise Scholarships in 2023. Pineville High School senior, Raymond Nelson, received the Power of a Promise Scholarship in 2022, and Glenmora High School senior, JuanCarlos Perales, received the Power of a Promise Scholarship in 2021.
CLTCC will accept applications through Jan. 31, 2024, and the scholarship recipient(s) will be announced in February 2024.
Eligibility requirements are listed below. Students can access the application online at cltcc.edu and then hand deliver, mail or email it to CLTCC’s Alexandria Campus. Cleco is unable to accept applications.
