FMSEA TEACHER TRUST FUND AWARD – INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIP
FMSEA TEACHER TRUST FUND AWARD – INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIP
The FMSEA Board of Directors voted to establish an environmental education trust fund at its October 10, 1993 meeting. The fund is in support of staff development which includes teacher in-service training and enhancement. A special thank you goes to R. Duncan Matthewson for his efforts in helping to establish this fund.
Individual Scholarships will be presented to FMSEA members to attend either an environmental professional development program or a professional conference (including the FMSEA annual conference). Awards may cover registration, travel or accommodation costs. Applicants are encouraged to secure matching funds from sources other than FMSEA. All award winners must agree to:
acknowledgments of FMSEA support in all activities related to the funded program,
file copies with FMSEA of all products/projects generated by the program,
a short, written report on the program/conference for the annual FMSEA Journal or present a session at the first FMSEA Annual Conference after the completion of the project.
Please notify president-elect@fmsea.org after completing a scholarship application.

FMSEA MINI-GRANT
Following in the footsteps of our parent organization, NMEA, we are committed to increasing diversity in the field of marine science education by providing educators with tools to offer opportunities for EVERY student and educator interested in marine science. FMSEA will award a $500 grant and a complimentary FMSEA conference registration to a Florida marine science educator creating marine science educational programming that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion by meeting the needs of underserved and underrepresented audiences. These audiences may include but not be limited to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities and individuals with disabilities or the groups that provide support services.
Recipients do not need to be present at the conference to accept and will be contacted via the email provided. The recipient will receive one complimentary conference registration for the following year, FMSEA membership and a one night stay at the conference hotel. Recipients will be required to check-in with detailed program updates 6 months after receiving the grant and are required to present on the grant funded program during the next annual conference.
