2020 Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi King & Queen Leadership Program
The Buccaneer Commission is happy to announce that despite having to postpone Buc Days until November due to the Covid-19, $62,500 in scholarships were awarded to area students that participated in the 2020 Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi King & Queen Leadership Program.
The Program began back in December. Twenty students were chosen out of over 100 applications. This was done through an interview and essay process.
Since then, these students have participated in a customized Dale Carnegie Training program, taken a tour of the Corpus Christi Army Depot, prepared and served a meal for the Ronald McDonald House. The program was altered due to the Covid-19 situation, but were still able to participate in our program utilizing Zoom meetings. They had a Q&A Sessions with our County Judge, Barbara Canales as well as the CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi, Sean Strawbridge.
All were awarded collegiate scholarships ranging from $2,000-$8,000! The winners were announced on our Facebook page on May 2nd as part of our BucDays HomeDays virtual event.
