Raytheon Missiles & Defense and Student Veterans of America announce 2020 Patriot Scholarship Recipients

Events
October 14, 2020

Washington D.C, (Oct. 14) — Raytheon Missiles & Defense, in partnership with Student Veterans of America (SVA), today awarded two $10,000 scholarships to student veterans honoring those who served in the U.S. Army.

The Raytheon Technologies Patriot Scholarship, named for the company’s Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, is designed to help returning soldiers achieve educational goals that lead to success in their civilian lives. The scholarships are awarded to Army student veterans pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited university and require applicants to demonstrate leadership and commitment to their communities.

The 2020 scholarship recipients are:

  • Arturo Garcia, a graduate student at California State University, Northridge pursuing a degree in Logistics & Supply Chain Management; and
  • Karisa Myers, a graduate student at The Ohio State University pursuing an MBA.

“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Raytheon Missiles & Defense, empowering student veterans to lead and live their best lives,” said Jared Lyon, national president and CEO of Student Veterans of America. “Arturo and Karisa have demonstrated academic perseverance as they pursue their graduate degrees and a commitment to their communities through their involvement with their SVA Chapters.”

“We want to help position Army student veterans for future success by providing accessible educational opportunities that lead to meaningful careers and lifelong learning,” said Tom Laliberty, vice president of Land Warfare & Air Defense, a business area of Raytheon Missiles & Defense.

Raytheon Technologies and SVA joined forces in November 2012 to help provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to achieve their greatest potential in higher education. Such empowerment helps our nation’s veterans find success in their post-service lives and helps to develop a generation of professionals who already understand the importance of leadership, discipline, and perseverance.
