Conrad Carpio
DREAMers Scholarship

snow carpio weekley dreamers scholarship

SCHOLARSHIP OVERVIEW

The SCW Conrad Carpio Education Scholarship was named in honor of Conrad Carpio, the father of Firm Partner Alex Carpio. Conrad was born in Cananea, Sonora Mexico. He came to the United States in 1970 and became a Legal Permanent Resident in 1986 through Amnesty. He is the father of 5 children. Conrad has been a roofer with Ralph Hays Rooming since 1975. After 44 years of roofing he retired, but after three months of retirement, he decided retirement was not for him and he is still working with Ralph Hays Roofing to this day.

Like many of the firm’s injured worker clients, Conrad is an immigrant who came to the United States for a better life. He worked hard to provide a better future for his family. Conrad also suffered work injuries as a roofer and each time he recovered and his employer accommodated him as his work ethic is like no other.

Snow, Carpio & Weekley, PLC decided to name their annual scholarship, “The Conrad Carpio Education Scholarship,” in honor of Conrad. Conrad, like many of the firm’s clients, are hardworking individuals who exemplify the American Dream and the injured workers the firm has represented for decades.
