Time is running out to apply for the Pacific Coast Congresses (PCC) scholarships and project grants made available through our Barbara Schwantes Fund (BSF).

Scholarships and grants are available for up to $1000 for applicants in PCC’s region–Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, or the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The scholarships are for individuals planning to enroll or currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in a marine-related field. Two and four-year degree programs, as well as certificate programs, are eligible including marine science, marine education, marine engineering, facility operations, boatbuilding and repair, engine repair, marine surveying, and more.

Project grants are designed for projects that help promote the recreational and commercial boating industry and conservation, and that also raise the awareness of the PCC. Examples include youth boating and sailing clubs, teams, and camps; community marine outreach programs; waterway and shoreline conservation efforts; and more.

Don’t miss out on free money! Applications due July 31.
