The Scholarship Program provides financial support to students who are excelling in maritime studies in college or graduate school and to high school seniors who are interested in pursuing such studies.
Top awards ranging from $7,500 to $10,000 are paid directly to schools as tuition reimbursement.
Each year multiple one-time Scholarship Awards ranging from $1,000 – $5,000 are awarded and made payable directly to the student.
All applications are reviewed by the CMA Education Foundation Scholarship Committee and awards are approved by the Board of Directors.
Winners will be based on quality of essay or video submission, academic achievement, faculty reference and those who best demonstrate their interest in a career in the maritime industry. For the top scholarship awards applicants may be invited for an interview via Zoom.
Students who receive awards are permitted to apply again if eligibility requirements are met.
