The John Buckingham ’69 Scholarship
Your donation to the USNA Alumni Association, Tx Gulf Coast Foundation, makes a difference. As a 501(c)3, your donation is also tax deductible. Our current, spring campaign specifically goes towards the John Buckingham ’69 Scholarship, sponsoring young, bright, Naval Academy perspective candidates from the Houston area. These perspective candidates will be attending either the Naval Academy Admissions Department’s summer STEM or Summer Seminar (NASS) programs. Your donation goes to help fund a student who has been identified as financially in-need. Each year, the TxGC Foundation has been able to sponsor full tuition for some or all of the dozen-or-so perspective candidates from our area. These candidates can go on to become Midshipmen at the Academy, and future Naval Officers.
About NASS (Summer Seminar)
The US Naval Academy Summer Seminar is a fast-paced, six-day experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school. Summer Seminar teaches you about life at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in developing our nation’s leaders.
About Summer STEM
Engineering is all about creating, building, and making things better. So what does it take to be an engineer? If you like math and science, you are off to a great start. If you enjoy discovering new things, solving problems, and learning how things work – even better. Creativity, persistence, and the desire to make the world a better place are also important qualities. Becoming an engineer requires hard work and a good education. The Naval Academy’s summer program is a great start to a career in science and engineering.
