The application period for the Marine Technology Society (MTS) Scholarships and EMERGE Program is now open.

Each year, MTS awards significant scholarship funding to undergraduate and graduate students who are accepted into or enrolled in full-time marine-related programs (with a focus on marine technology, engineering or science). 

MTS also offers the Emerging Leaders in Marine Technology Program (EMERGE) designed to give undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early-career ocean professionals, a guided program to enhance their professional development and networking experience at OCEANS Conferences.

To be eligible for consideration, applicants are required to be active members of MTS, with student memberships available for $25 per year. Additionally, applicants must be full-time graduate or undergraduate students currently enrolled or accepted into in a two- or four-year marine studies program.

Students who were recipients of a scholarship in the previous year are not eligible to reapply for the same scholarship in the following year. 

MTS Scholarship applications are due on March 29, 2024.
