Bobby Acacio Arts & Sciences Scholarship

Bobby

Bobby Acacio, a 2016 graduate of Wyoming Area, is donating scholarships to well-rounded students that have passions in arts and sciences in the classroom, extracurricularly, and/or as a hobby.

This scholarship is to recognize students that choose to learn for the love of learning, creativity, and discovery. This reward is also to pay homage to the institution that gave Bobby many opportunities, friendships, and experiences that has shaped him and he will always treasure.

Bobby was born and raised in Exeter and tried to participate in everything WA could offer. He went on to study and graduated from Florida Polytechnic University with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 2020 as an undergraduate Fulbright Scholar. He is currently working as an Electronics Engineer for the federal government. As he progresses through his career, he would like to give back to the school that gave him so much.

During his time at WA he was not a straight-A student but throughout his WA career he strived to challenge himself constantly. Education was always important to him - he took rigorous courses at WA, while also pursuing his own academic passions in history, foreign languages, and computer science. Bobby is eternally grateful for the many faculty that validated his trivia skills while competing in Shore Bowl, History Bowl, Brain Bowl, and TEAMS competitions. He was fortunate to have supportive coaches and teammates to enable him to represent WA in multiple sports such as football, swimming, soccer, wrestling, track & field, and lacrosse. He is also thankful for his artistic experiences the school provided through band and choir while he was in middle school, three years of French with Mr. C, as well as drama club his senior year, all of which he thoroughly enjoyed.

This scholarship is to recognize students that choose to learn for the love of learning, creativity, and discovery. It pays homage to the institution that gave Bobby many opportunities, friendships, and experiences that has shaped him and he will always treasure.
