OREM, Utah, December 13, 2024, Havenpark Communities, an operator and developer of manufactured home communities in Texas and across the country, awarded academic scholarships to nine Texas students. The scholarships, worth up to $10,000 annually, are part of Havenpark’s annual J. Anthony Antonelli Scholarship for residents. In 2024, Havenpark awarded 42 students from across its communities with scholarships to cover expenses for colleges, universities, trade, and vocational schools.
“We are proud to support the educational goals of our residents through the J. Anthony Antonelli Scholarship. These scholarships represent more than just financial assistance, they highlight our commitment to creating opportunities for growth and success in our communities. By investing in our students, we honor Anthony’s legacy and deep belief in the power of education to transform lives. We look forward to seeing these residents thrive in their academic journeys,” said Robbie Pratt, CEO and co-founder of Havenpark Communities.
Havenpark’s scholarships were awarded to the following students from its Texas communities:
- Brian Avila, Houston Community College

With a commitment of at least $500,000 annually, Havenpark supports its Education Success Program, created in 2021 by co-founder J. Anthony Antonelli. Antonelli, who faced educational obstacles in his youth while living in mobile home communities, is honored through the scholarship renamed in his memory following his recent passing. Since its launch, the Education Success Program has granted scholarships to 101 residents and has been a source of mentorship and guidance for students striving for higher education.
“The Education Success Program is dedicated to empowering our residents by providing the resources and support they need to pursue their educational goals,” said Jason Hale, director of Havenpark’s Education Success Program. “This year’s scholarship recipients exemplify resilience and determination, and we are thrilled to play a role in their journeys.”
For the last two years, Multi-Housing News has awarded Havenpark its Humanitarian Award for the Education Success Program. The awards honor Havenpark’s commitment to supporting its residents in achieving their post-secondary educational goals.
