STEM In The Community

Friends of Chatham Waterways is offering Lewis E. Kimball, Jr. scholarships of up to $3,000 to graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students majoring in marine or environmental studies. 
The scholarship is open to graduate students, and undergraduate applicants entering their junior or senior year of college within the next 12 months, and majoring in environmental studies, environmental management, marine ecology or related subjects in these fields. Applicants must be residents of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket or graduates of a high school or college on the Cape or Islands.

Since the scholarship began in 2007, FCW has supported a wide variety of students such as Christine Harris, who later attained a master’s degree and currently works at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary as Naturalist and Public Programs Coordinator; and Owen Nichols, who now holds a PhD in Marine Science and is currently the Marine Fisheries Research Director at the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies.
