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.
