SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
GRAND LODGE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
The ISMA Grand Lodge donates three $1500.00 scholarships annually, one for the Hawsepipe scholarship, which is open to any unlicenced rating in the Great Lakes basin, be they Canadian or American Mariners. The Second and third Scholarships are Marine Officer Cadet scholarships with cadets at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Traverse City, Michigan, and at the Great Lakes International Marine Training Centre in Owen Sound, Ontario.
LODGE 15 SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
ISMA Lodge 15 hands out two $500.00 Annual Georgian College scholarships for BEST KEPT SEA TERM LOGBOOKS, in Navigation and in Engineering. This Scholarship is academically driven and is awarded based on best logbooks as marked by faculty.
SEA CADET AWARDS
Lodge 15 has sponsors an annual award with NLCC Owen Sound and with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets on Manitoulin Island.
The Seamanship Award is presented each year to the cadet who has displayed the most proficiency across all segments of the seamanship category. The cadet most likely to be awarded this trophy will have participated on the competition team and may even have been the team captain.
Seamanship is the largest segment of Navy League training and is therefore one of the highest honours a cadet can hope to receive.
