Havenpark hits milestone of 100+ academic
scholarships awarded since its inception
OREM, Utah, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Havenpark
Communities, an operator and developer of manufactured home
communities across the country, announced it awarded academic
scholarships to 42 residents as part of its Education Success
Program, which includes mentoring and ongoing academic support in
addition to scholarship funds. The recipients, representing 24
different Havenpark communities, will receive up to $10,000 annually to cover higher education
expenses.
Since starting the program in 2021, Havenpark has awarded
scholarships to 101 students and celebrated six who completed their
studies last year. To welcome the 2024 cohort, Havenpark held a
virtual ceremony on May 2 to
recognize each recipient.
At the May 2 ceremony, Havenpark
announced it would rename the scholarship to the J. Anthony
Antonelli Scholarship to honor the legacy of its late chairman and
co-founder who passed away this year. Antonelli faced several
educational barriers during his childhood while growing up in a
mobile home community, which ultimately inspired him to establish
the Education Success Program.
"The Education Success Program is Havenpark's signature
philanthropic platform dedicated to investing back into our
residents and communities," said Ramie Rajabi, President of
Havenpark Communities. "I'm confident each of these individuals
will accomplish their most ambitious goals through higher
education, and we're thrilled to be a part of that journey."
Havenpark awarded $162,000 in new
scholarships this year and will continue to invest at least
$500,000 a year in the Education
Success Program as part of its annual pledge, supporting academic
scholarships, mentorship opportunities, and the Springboard to
Success Club, an online platform accessible to residents interested
in pursuing additional educational opportunities.
"To see these results after entering only the fourth year of our
Education Success Program has been inspiring to not only me but the
entire Havenpark staff," said Dr. Jason
Hale, Director of Education Success. "One of the many ways
we create caring communities is by increasing college access, and
we look forward to supporting these students every step of the way
as they achieve their life aspirations."
Scholarship applications are open to all residents in high
school and college, as well as adults looking to further their
education. This year, 73 percent of recipients are first-generation
college students, and 74 percent plan to attend a 4-year college or
university.
