Police Explorer Daniel Shipley has been chosen to receive the $3,400 Officer Conrad Buckley Legacy Scholarship. Daniel’s parents and sister proudly looked on as Daniel was awarded his scholarship.
The Kiwanis Club of South Lake began this program a year ago when Officer Conrad Buckley died from the Coronavirus. In his memory, a ten-year commitment was made to fund one student each year at the Police Academy. Each candidate is from the Explorer program and selected to receive the scholarship by the Clermont Police Department.
Last year, Maycee Lowe was the first recipient of the scholarship and now proudly wears her uniform.
