nmra logo 400The National Marine Representatives Association (NMRA) is offering a $2,500 scholarship to an outstanding student pursuing education and a career in the maritime trades. High school seniors, and college and vocational students are encouraged to apply. Canadians are also eligible to apply for this scholarship.

The application can be downloaded at bit.ly/2GcnCvJ and is due April 1, 2018. Educational institutions are urged to promote the scholarship widely to their students. The winner will be announced this summer.

Since 2008, NMRA has contributed to the future of the marine industry with its scholarship. Past recipients have gone on to vocations in a wide range of fields, including boatbuilding, logistics, naval design and the merchant marines.

A promising student who was awarded an NMRA scholarship, Andrew Grossi will graduate this spring from the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology in its yacht design program. Grossi grew up boating on the Hudson River, and New Hampshire and Massachusetts coasts. A registered architect, today his practice marries land and sea by serving the building and marine communities.

“NMRA helps students pursue their dreams of working in the boat business by lessening the financial burden of a college education,” said Grossi. “NMRA members and staff were all very supportive and encouraging in my endeavors.”
