YCAP student Luis Campoverde listens during one of the summer program\u2019s visits to a local business. The scholarship recipients spend six weeks at Dunwoody during the summer exploring different career fields and participating in hands-on activities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Focused on his future<\/h3>\n

Luis Campoverde-Loayza knew he wanted to earn a technical degree when he started exploring his options for higher education.<\/p>\n

The Columbia Heights High School graduate attended a STEM camp at Dunwoody a couple of years ago, and the experience piqued his interest in a more hands-on approach to education.<\/p>\n

He also knew he wanted to study architecture, so after doing his research and talking with friends, he decided that Dunwoody was the right place for him.<\/p>\n

Discovering YCAP<\/h6>\n

A high school teacher encouraged Campoverde to apply for Dunwoody\u2019s Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) scholarship. In addition to tuition assistance, the program also includes a summer camp experience that introduces students to technical careers and helps prepare them for the college experience.<\/p>\n

Campoverde was one of 28 students selected for the YCAP scholarship. The program is open to students who just finished either their junior or senior year of high school.<\/p>\n

The summer program began on June 11, and in addition to participating in hands-on activities on campus, the YCAP students also spend time visiting businesses and industry partners to get a feel for what it will be like to work in different fields.<\/p>\n

\u201c[YCAP] has given me good insight into what I can look forward to in my future career,\u201d Campoverde said. The 2018 high school graduate is enrolled in the Architectural Drafting & Design this fall and plans to continue on with the Bachelor of Architecture program once he completes the two-year degree.<\/p>\n

A love of architecture<\/h6>\n

\u201cEver since I was young I was always thinking about architecture,\u201d he said. \u201cI kind of leaned towards automotive for a couple of years, but I was still thinking of architecture. So now I\u2019m going to pursue that here at Dunwoody.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the hands-on education, Campoverde said he was also drawn to Dunwoody because of the small class sizes with personalized attention from instructors and small campus environment.<\/p>\n

Besides providing insight into his future career, Campoverde said the YCAP experience has also helped prepare him for the fall semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cYCAP has definitely helped me stay focused and on track,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
