PE Systems Announces the Launch of the Wesley A. King Scholarship Program
Honoring a Legacy of Leadership, Learning, and Community Impact
Fairfax, VA — [January 19, 2026] PE Systems proudly announces the launch of the Wesley A. King Scholarship Program, a new annual initiative established to honor the legacy of former owner and CEO Wesley A. King. The program reflects Mr. King’s lifelong belief that education is a catalyst for opportunity, personal growth, and societal impact.
A dedicated leader, entrepreneur, and champion of human potential, Wesley King built his career, and his company, on the conviction that people thrive when they are supported, encouraged, and empowered. Coming from a family rooted deeply in education, Mr. King carried this commitment forward when he purchased PE Systems in 1995, fostering a company culture centered on integrity, development, and treating employees as family.
“The Wesley A. King Scholarship Program reflects my father’s lifelong conviction that access to quality education empowers individuals to develop their talents and, in turn, positively impact their communities, their industries, and society as a whole,” said Marissa King, current PE Systems leader and former educator. “I am honored to carry forward his vision by expanding educational opportunities within the PE Systems community.”
The scholarship will award four (4) annual $5,000 scholarships to eligible dependent children and relatives of PE Systems employees. Students pursuing degrees at accredited colleges, universities, or vocational/trade schools are encouraged to apply. The program will support a wide range of educational expenses, including tuition, books, fees, and room and board.
The new scholarship program underscores PE Systems’ dedication to cultivating the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers who will carry forward the company’s tradition of excellence and service.
PE Systems, headquartered in Fairfax, VA, is a provider of professional engineering and technical services committed to supporting government and industry partners with integrity, expertise, and innovation. Guided by a strong people-first culture, the company is dedicated to developing talent, supporting community impact, and building a stronger future through education and opportunity.
