On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, Central Virginia Electric Cooperative (CVEC) Director Roberta Harlowe presented the inaugural Roberta I. Harlowe Scholarship award to Brenley Hackett of Appomattox, in the amount of $2,000.
Brenley Hackett, a 2022 graduate of Cornerstone Christian Academy, achieved an impressive GPA and has been active in volleyball, 4-H, chess, soccer, piano, and leadership forums. She plans to attend Central Virginia Community College this summer and transfer to Centra Nursing School next fall to pursue a career in pediatric nursing.
Mrs. Harlowe currently serves as the Vice Chair of the CVEC Board of Directors and has previously served as chair of the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC) scholarship fund. “Education for the youth in our rural communities has been a long-time passion for me” states Harlowe. “My husband, Bill, and I are honored to offer scholarships to help students continue their education beyond high school.”
Recipients are awarded based on financial need, academic achievement, and community involvement. “The Roberta I. Harlowe Scholarship Fund is proud to recognize Miss Hackett’s outstanding academic achievements, and wonderful community involvement” said Harlowe.
