CIC Chairman Emeritus Louis G. Nappi Creates New College Scholarship Program; Inaugural Award Picks Six for Fall 2009 Grants
Tarrytown, NY (PRWEB) October 22, 2009 -- After more than a year of planning and development, the scholarship committee of a construction management and labor coalition announced this month that it has made its inaugural award to six students who will each receive $3,000 scholarships for undergraduate studies in the sciences, including math and engineering.
The Louis G. Nappi Construction Labor-Management Scholarship Program, named in honor of the Chairman Emeritus of the Construction Industry Council of Westchester & Hudson Valley, Inc., presented the college scholarships at a recent awards luncheon in Elmsford, NY.
Candidates for scholarship must be residents of the seven-county region of the lower Hudson Valley of Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Columbia, Ulster, Orange and Rockland counties, and be related to employees of companies that are members of the trade or association. Students can also be eligible for grants if they are relatives of members of CIC-affiliated local unions: Laborers International Union of N. A., Local No. 60; International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 137; International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local No. 456.
Mr. Nappi, who served as CIC's Chairman of the Board from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, retired in 1988 as the principal of N&W Concrete, Inc., a joint venture. Prior to that, he was the owner of Nappi Colonial Concrete Co., Inc., a concrete supplier headquartered in White Plains. Prior to forming that company, Mr. Nappi was an executive for many years with Colonial Sand & Stone, Inc., which was headquartered in Manhattan.
It is Mr. Nappi's goal to advance the studies of engineering, architecture and the applied sciences of mathematics, through scholarship awards.
"By awarding these scholarships, it is our vision - with labor and management joining together--to encourage the brightest young students to consider and pursue careers in construction and engineering," Mr. Nappi said.
