Funding Available

Through the Oceans Protection Plan, Transport Canada has partnered with NSCC to deliver training to underrepresented groups in the marine sector. To encourage diversity at sea, bursaries are available for women and Indigenous peoples who enroll in Marine programs.

Ocean Dream Award
This award program has been established to support those who are interested in and have a passion to explore a career in the marine industry. Recognizing the significant financial, social and cultural barriers that women and Indigenous peoples face when pursuing post-secondary education, this bursary will help offset educational costs, ultimately encouraging greater participation in marine training and careers. Funding will cover 90% of tuition fees.
Ocean Living Award
Indigenous students who receive the Ocean Dream Award are automatically considered for additional funds through the Ocean Living Award. This award assists with living expenses (up to $10,500 or $60/day) while enrolled in a marine program. No application is required.
