National Save The Sea Turtle Foundation Scholarship Program at FAU Now in Second Year

For many years, the National Save The Sea Turtle Foundation has partnered with Florida Atlantic University to support students, faculty, and facilities to assist with their world-class studies with sea turtles and the coastal environment. Most recently, the Foundation established a scholarship program within the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science to provide 4 undergraduate scholarships $15,000 each during the 2018-2019 academic year. The scholarships provided financial assistance to seniors enrolled at the Boca Raton Campus who demonstrated academic excellence, financial need, and a commitment to become scholars and ambassadors that represent the Marine Science program at Florida Atlantic University. As such, they are expected to develop as well-rounded, skilled, and committed individuals who are motivated to engage the public through education, research and outreach activities appropriate to both their specific interests in the field, as well as those of importance in the field of marine biology.
