This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students and is supporting the scholars through a variety of structures and programs. Women and students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support. Students are being targeted for participation in the scholarship program that are enrolled in either an undergraduate marine engineering concentration or a graduate program in marine engineering. The need for professionals who have expertise in marine engineering is a key to US competitiveness in the maritime industry and few institutions in the nation offer training in this area. This project is meeting the national need for marine engineers through three related objectives including enhanced outreach to high schools, improved student retention, and opportunities for professional growth for students enrolled in the marine engineering programs such as industry internships or research experiences.

该项目向有学术才能和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，并通过各种结构和方案支持学者。代表性不足群体的妇女和学生是特别需要支助的对象。学生被定向参加奖学金计划，这些奖学金计划是在本科海洋工程集中或海洋工程研究生课程就读。对具有海洋工程专业知识的专业人员的需求是美国在海事行业竞争力的关键，而美国很少有机构提供这方面的培训。该项目通过三个相关目标满足国家对海洋工程师的需求，包括加强对高中的宣传，提高学生的保留率，以及为参加海洋工程项目的学生提供专业成长的机会，如行业实习或研究经验。
