Pepin Academies is proud to celebrate an outstanding achievement by one of our own. Anthony Olivera Rivas, Tampa Campus Class of 2026 Salutatorian, has been selected as a recipient of the prestigious 2026 Dr. Carlo Rodriguez Scholarship.

This distinguished scholarship, awarded by the Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools (FCPCS), recognizes students who demonstrate exceptional academic success, leadership, and dedication to their future goals. Anthony’s recognition is a testament to his hard work, perseverance, and commitment to excellence throughout his time at Pepin Academies.

“Congratulations to the recipients of the 2026 Dr. Carlo Rodriguez Scholarships,” said Robert Haag, President of FCPCS. “The Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools salutes their accomplishments and dedication. We expect even more great things as they continue with their education.”

The Dr. Carlo Rodriguez Scholarship Program is made possible through meaningful partnerships and support from organizations committed to student success. This year, EGIS Insurance & Risk Advisors of Boca Raton sponsored four scholarships, while FCPCS sponsored an additional eight, helping to empower students like Anthony as they take the next steps in their academic journeys.

Anthony’s achievement reflects not only his individual dedication, but also the supportive community of educators, family, and peers who have guided and encouraged him along the way. As Salutatorian, he has already demonstrated remarkable leadership and academic excellence, and this scholarship further highlights the bright future ahead.

We are incredibly proud of Anthony and excited to see all that he will accomplish as he continues his education and pursues his goals.

Congratulations, Anthony! Your Pepin Academies family is cheering you on every step of the way.
