Carnival has had a history of supporting BBBS with the company hosting 90 Miami-Dad high school students each month at its Miami headquarters as part of their Scholarship and Mentoring Program.

Students are given the opportunity to get an insight into the business world by being paired with a member of Carnival’s management team as part of the program with the company also providing 15 four-year scholarships to graduating seniors per year.
