The Northeast Maritime Institute Foundation was created to further the Northeast Maritime Institute’s creed of “Honor the Mariner.” The Foundation provides tuition assistance, scholarships, and financial support to students, organizations and communities that advance maritime and ocean interests and education globally.
Since 2015, the Foundation has been able to provide over half-a-million dollars in support through its various initiatives. Students pursuing a maritime education and training are the focus of the foundation.
If you are an individual, company, or school interested in working with the Foundation to expand the number of scholarship opportunities, please contact the Foundation today. We are eager to provide more access to well-paying careers in the maritime industry. America is currently operating with a shortage of qualified mariners, making this an important task to fulfill.
The Mariner Scholarship Program allows a sponsor to create a new scholarship or become the named sponsor of an existing scholarship. Scholarships typically cover 50% of a student’s tuition, which comes out to about $12,000 per year, for two years. In combination with sponsoring a scholarship, your company has the opportunity to provide scholarship recipients and NMI students with externships at your company, which gives you the chance to train and evaluate potential future employees before they enter the workforce.
