SCHOLARSHIP

About the Scholarship

To promote a better understanding of the environment we so love to explore, the Central Ca1ifornia Council of Diving Clubs, known as Cen Cal, is offering our annual California Diving & Aquatic Studies Scholarship. This award was previously named the Seaviews/Cen Cal Marine Science Scholarship.

Once again, for 2005, we are planning to award $2,000 to support a student engaging in studies of underwater habitats. Aquatic related programs in the disciplines of biology, physical sciences, marine education, maritime archaeology, historical and social aspects of marine resources or the science of diving are relevant for consideration. We must, however, enter a caveat that due to our limited funding, should more than one outstanding candidate be identified we would have to divide the $2000 award between them .
