Make a pledge today to assist a Cadet this May

Each year, the Maritime College Alumni Association sets a goal to provide a minimum of $250,000 in scholarships every Spring to qualified cadets embarking on their 1/C and 2/C cruises aboard the Training Ship Empire State VI.

This year, not only are we committing to the $250,000 of prior years, we are aiming to raise an additional $250,000 for a total goal of $500,000!

We realize a great need to support the cadets and we are rising to the occasion.

We were able to award scholarships amounting to $120,000 to cadets participating in the Pier Side Training Program that was set in place due to the cancellation of SST 2020.
The anticipated increase in costs for SST 2021 has prompted us to double our appeal goal for this year.

With your participation, we can get there!
