For over 35 years a diverse group of divers, marine scientists and underwater explorers
known as the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society has been engaged in a unique
mission: to identify and develop the next generation of dive leaders and underwater
researchers.
Each year the Scholarship Society offers three prestigious Rolex Scholarships to
outstanding young people who show a demonstrated interest in underwater-related
careers. The recipients work with international experts in scuba diving, conservation,
underwater photography, engineering, maritime archaeology, and other related fields.
“Our goal is to foster the development of future leaders of the underwater environment.”
says George Wozencraft, President of the Scholarship Society.
Applicants for the Rolex Scholarships must be between the ages of 21 and 26, have high
academic standing and achieved Rescue Diver or equivalent certification. The Society also
offers experience-based summer internships in North America that are primarily directed
at university students and recent graduates.
The Scholarship Society invites you to nominate students, provide support for scholars
and interns or simply contribute to help support our organization’s educational mission.
