Palm Beach State College student Carlos Reyes has been awarded the inaugural Chime Workforce Scholarship of $1,000 through the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation.
The Chime Workforce Scholarship helps students cover the cost of tuition, fees and other educational expenses related to completing their degree or certificate program. It is awarded to students enrolled in certificate or associate degree workforce development programs at two-year colleges.
“Carlos has demonstrated exceptional dedication to his academic and professional goals, and we’re proud to see his hard work recognized with this scholarship,” said Daniel Alvarez, PTK advisor of the Delta Omicron chapter at PBSC. “He truly represents the values of Phi Theta Kappa and the potential of our students here at Palm Beach State College.”
Reyes, from Royal Palm Beach, is one of 200 students selected to receive the scholarship, which recognizes high-achieving college students pursuing career and technical education. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on academic excellence, engagement, leadership potential and career readiness.
Reyes is currently pursuing a degree in computer programming at PBSC. He is also a member of Phi Theta Kappa’s Delta Omicron chapter, an international honor society recognizing academic achievement at associate degree-granting colleges.
“At the Chime Scholars Foundation, we believe that career and technical education opens doors to financial progress and long-term opportunity,” said Jeni Izuel, president of the Chime Scholars Foundation. “We’re proud to support students who are working hard to gain in-demand skills and build better futures for themselves and their families.”
The Chime Scholars Foundation provides support for individuals pursuing higher education, including college, workforce training and trade school.
