Scholarships

The Bahamas Maritime Authority and the Bahamas Ship Owners Association are offering attractive scholarships to young academically sound Bahamians who are keen to train for careers in the Shipping Industry – a sector that is gaining increasing national importance.

The scholarship is inclusive of tuition, fees, course material, accommodations and transportation costs. Successful candidates will follow a four year degree programme at the world-renowned State University of New York Maritime College in the United States. Upon completion of the degree, the qualified officers will be expected to serve on board a Bahamian flagged vessel for at least two years.

Scholarships are managed by the Bahamas Maritime Authority.  Persons interested in accessing scholarship should contact:
