Congratulations to Karigan Wildroudt! Karigan was awarded the Albert Yanni Scholarship. Karigan is a Therapeutic Services CTE Completer. The Albert Yanni Scholarship provides high-quality career and technical education (CTE) students an opportunity to pursue advanced education and/or training related to their career aspirations. One-time scholarships, of $2,000 each, are awarded to students selected by a committee of West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) personnel. Scholarship candidates submitted both an application along with a video (max 3 minutes). The video required students to share about their choice of CTE program and their related future plans. Students were asked to elaborate on the lessons learned through their CTE program and to outline their career aspirations. #Classof2025 #ThisIsCTE #CareerTechWV
