The Salvador Scholarship Fund was established to create an opportunity for teachers to foster an appreciation and respect for the marine environment in students who may not otherwise be able to afford to participate in a marine education program. Just as a dolphin calf explores its habitat and learns about the Ocean environment, so must young Bahamians explore the mysteries of the sea and learn how to take an active role to protect the ocean on which we all depend.

To qualify for a scholarship, educators must meet one of the following guidelines:

  •  Teach at Government School in Nassau
  • Teach at a Family Island School
  •  Teach in a school providing for children with special needs

Applications are taken for a calendar-school year with the maximum number of one scholarship per school per year for up to 60 student participants. Scholarships do NOT cover any additional costs such as bus fees, lodging or lunch upgrades. Scholarships are not final until confirmation numbers are issued for each requested program AND the deposit for the program is paid.

To apply, complete the following sections:

(A) Select the program in which you want your students to participate (note the funding available for each student ticket – maximum of 60 sponsored tickets per application). For full details,

please see the program flyer for each program:

Ocean Puppet Pals ($1) Sea Lab ($5) Reef Ranger ($5) Sea Camp ($10)

(B) Please answer each of the following questions. Each answer should be a minimum of one paragraph and answers should be as specific and complete as possible:

1. What do you want your students to get out of the education program you

selected?

2. What activities or materials will you use to prepare them for this program?

3. How will this program help you meet your curriculum requirements?
