Need Some Extra Funding for Your Marine Studies?

Pacific Coast Congress of Harbormasters and Port Managers (PCC) is calling for applications to the Barbara Schwantes Fund (BSF). Scholarships and grants are available within PCC’s region — Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, and 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 are due July 31.

The PCC is a nonprofit organization established in 1974. Its aim is to provide educational opportunities to those who serve the commercial and recreational boating public.
