The Conrad Buckley Legacy Scholarship began in 2020 when Conrad, Buckley, a friend and dedicated officer, was taken from us to soon. Members of the KCOSL heard desire in the community to do something in the name of Officer Buckley. KCOSL, in cooperation with Clermont PD and Lake Technical College in Tavares, developed a legacy scholarship in his memory to be awarded to an area student interested in working with local law enforcement. The KCOSL has committed to awarding this scholarship each year for 10 years. Funds come from various fundraising efforts throughout the year, including this golf tournament, a 5K walk/run, Music on the Lake, and a donation site on the Kiwanis Club’s website.
Each year, the Officer Conrad Buckley Legacy Scholarship will be sponsored by the KCOSL and the recipient will be chosen by the Clermont Police Department. The recipient will then attend the Lake Technical College Florida Law Enforcement Academy where they will receive 770 hours of accredited police training. This 5 month course is both physically and academically rigorous. When candidates complete the program, they are well prepared to begin their careers in law enforcement.
If you cannot attend this event, please consider a tax-deductable donation to the scholarship fund by visiting the KCOSL website at kcosl.org.
