Program will be Funded by U.S. Department of Energy Grant; National Grid Gives Eight Scholarships
Last week, the Governor spoke at the presentation of scholarships to CCRI’s first-ever energy utility technology certificate class and congratulated the scholarship recipients. The program was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory. In addition, National Grid generously donated funds for eight scholarships to the program.
“This is an outstanding example of a successful partnership between the Federal government, a state academic institution, and the private sector,” said Governor Chafee. “In these difficult economic times, all of these partners have collaborated to train hard-working, committed students for good-paying jobs in a high-demand field.”
