Reef Check: Dive into Science Program "Youth and young adults from under-represented or tribal communities often do not have access to the ocean environment, let alone ways or opportunities to experience the ocean. While they may have an interest in marine science and the desire to explore the ocean, they often lack experience and/or training that would allow them to successfully pursue a career in marine science, or other natural sciences for that matter. This lack of access and experience creates a disadvantage when it comes to their future educational or career choices.

Extracurricular activities, training and volunteerism are now widely required for a competitive college application. Dive into Science will provide the skills and experiences necessary to create a pathway to college and careers for under-resourced youth who have a passion for conservation and the ocean."

Students with mobility issues or other disabilities may benefit from the freedom and stability provided by a trike.

Grants for Trikes and Bikes can help students who struggle with mobility to more easily explore the world with their peers.

Reef Check Scholarship Fund "Reef Check is offering scholarships to qualified applicants from diverse backgrounds. The goal of our Scholarship Fund is to increase diversity in science and provide opportunities for participation in Reef Check programs without financial barriers. It aligns with our pursuit of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) in all that we do. Scholarships will cover the cost of a Reef Check Training or participation in Reef Check’s Dive into Science program. We also offer volunteers opportunities to utilize the skills acquired from these courses and put them into action to contribute to Reef Check’s mission to save our reefs.

Reef Check Training Scholarships are for certified SCUBA divers to participate in a Reef Check training to become a certified Reef Check Citizen Scientist.

Reef Check’s Dive into Science Scholarships are for individuals who are not yet SCUBA certified and will provide SCUBA training and subsequent diving experience, culminating in a Reef Check Citizen Scientist certification."
