High school seniors awarded scholarships

Liberty New York Water, in partnership with the New York chapter of the National Association of Water Companies, awarded nine scholarships to high achieving high school seniors pursuing a college degree in a field related to the water industry.

Among those earning a scholarship were: Emma Keller of Malverne High School; and Sean Krivitsky, Christopher Lucchese, and Emilia Perri of Lynbrook High School.

The recipients were honored at a reception held at the Thayer Hotel at West Point on June 1 and presented with scholarships in the amount of $3,000 each.

Liberty New York Water President Debbie Franco said she is proud to lead a company that gives back in this manner. “Investing in our youth is an investment in our future,” she said. “We are confident that one day these young people will make a difference in the world through their interest in environmental issues.”

Each of the scholarship recipients plans to go into a career related to the water industry, many majoring in engineering. These high school seniors expressed an interest in preserving our environmental resources and proved that they are hard working through obtaining high grade point averages and participation in a variety of extracurricular activities and part time jobs.
