2024 SST SCHOLARSHIP FUND APPEAL

Support Today, and Assist a Cadet this June

Remember your Summer Sea Terms? Of course, you do! It is those experiences and memories that have propelled you into the life that you have today.

The cost of SST continues to rise each year, and many of our cadets and their families struggle to find the money to cover these expenses. Yet, they all recognize the value of the experience of the Summer Sea Term.  As alumni, we are committed to – and receive satisfaction from – helping this new crop of cadets as much as we possibly can.

Each year, the Maritime College Alumni Association sets a goal to provide a minimum of $500,000 in scholarships every spring to qualified cadets embarking on their 1/C and 2/C cruises aboard the Training Ship Empire State VII.

This year, not only are we committing to the $500,000 of prior years,
we are aiming to raise additional  funds  for a total goal of $560,000!

We realize a great need to support the cadets and we are rising to the occasion. The anticipated increase in costs for SST in 2024 has prompted us to increase our appeal goal for this year.

With your participation, we can get there!

While the MCAA runs the Annual SST Scholarship Appeal in the first half of each calendar year, donations to the SST Scholarship Fund are welcomed throughout the year!

In celebration of the college’s 150 years Learning at Sea, donate $150 or more, by June 4th, and receive a gift from the MCAA.
