Dearborn receives $300,000 Capital Skills Grant
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
8/29/2019
WORCESTER — The Baker-Polito Administration today awarded $12 million to 45 high schools, colleges and educational institutions that will use the grant to acquire the newest technologies to educate students and expand career education opportunities.
Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, Secretary of Education Jim Peyser, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy and Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Rosalin Acosta made the announcement at Worcester Technical High School, which has received more than $1.5 million in Skills Capital Grants over the last three years.
Schools can also now apply for an additional round of Skills Capital Grants, totaling $15 million, that will be awarded in the fall.
The goal of the Skills Capital Grants, which range from $50,000 to $500,000, is to help high schools, colleges and other workforce training organizations invest in the most up-to-date equipment to give their students an advantage when they continue in their chosen field or area of study. These grants cover a broad array of fields, from construction and engineering to healthcare and hospitality.

Scholarship provided to 2019 graduate
In a recent ceremony held at the school graduate Irelida Pires was presented the first Robert Louis Stephens Memorial Scholarship.
Robert Louis Stephens brought his family to Boston in 1969, in search of a better life and education for his children. Later in life, he became an employee of Boston Public Schools; and did he love his job! He went to work each day with joy and pride as he worked hard to provide for his wife and three children, always indicating that he wanted his children to get a good education, better than what he had. This pursuit of education passed on to the grand children as well. In April of 2019, Robert passed away after a long battle with cancer. Even during his illness, he was an encourager, instilling in his family to work hard and be givers. In his loving memory, his wife and children give this scholarship in his name to a deserving student to aid in the financial cost of getting an education. In this way, they hope to carry out his legacy of encouraging education even beyond the family, to the community.
