Caddo Magnet student receives $10,000 scholarship

Guangjun Wang, a student at Caddo Magnet High School, was awarded a $10,000 scholarship from the Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) Program to study computer science or engineering at the U.S. college of his choice, starting this fall. He is among 400 students receiving scholarships this year and the only recipient in Louisiana.

As an AFE scholarship recipient, he will also receive a paid internship offer at Amazon, after his freshman year of college. Members of the Amazon team, along with leadership from Caddo Parish Schools, and Guangjun’s teacher and fellow classmates from Computer Science and Cybersecurity were on hand to celebrate Guangjun’s achievement today.

In addition to his scholarship, Amazon is donating $10,000 to Caddo Magnet High to help support their goals in providing quality education for local students.
