Thirty-two graduating seniors from 16 Brownsville area public and private high schools will receive $1,000 scholarships from the Brownsville Navigation District in an inaugural Port of Brownsville program to help deserving students pursue their education and career dreams.
“On behalf of the entire Port of Brownsville organization, we are proud to support these local students and families at this time,” said John Reed, chairman of the Brownsville Navigation District. “We are excited for the students as they continue their education and begin their careers, and in the future opportunities they are creating for themselves, their families and our communities.”
The 32 scholarship winners were selected for their academic performance, community involvement, extracurricular activities, and work experience, as well as for essays submitted as part of their applications. They will receive their scholarships when they enroll in college or technical school.
“The Port of Brownsville is a powerful economic driver for the entire Rio Grande Valley,” Reed said. “Through efforts like this inaugural scholarship program, we look forward to continued partnerships with our local schools, colleges and businesses to ensure our entire community is engaged in creating the opportunities we all want for future generations.”
