Dear Fellow Scuba Diver and Educator,

SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
If you are a teacher or educator, you may be eligible for the Lloyd Bridges Scholarship. This year’s recipient will join REEF’s Field Survey in Akumal, Mexico from May 17 - 24, 2008.

The scholarship, awarded annually, enables a qualified educator to participate - at no cost - in a CEDAM-sponsored or -sanctioned expedition. REEF Field Surveys are led by REEF staff or expert volunteers; participants have the opportunity to collect data, participate in daily talks, and interact with REEF members, staff, and local partner organizations. This is a hands-on experience during which participants have the opportunity for hands-on learning in and out of the water.

The goal of the scholarship program is two-fold: One, to have educators experience the wonders of the underwater world and then be able to share these wonders with his or her students or constituents. Two, to have these inspired individuals go out and do what they can to help protect one of the world’s most fragile ecosystems.

To be eligible, applicants must be a certified scuba diver, a teacher (elementary or secondary level), or actively engaged in an education program at an institution or environmental organization, such as an aquarium, science center, or relevant non-profit organization. The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of both merit and financial need. CEDAM International will cover the recipient’s airfare and REEF Field Survey expenses (excluding incidentals and personal expenses), on this educational adventure.

All applicants must complete an application form and return it along with the required essay and two letters of recommendation, to CEDAM (by mail or electronically) by April 1, 2008.

Thank you and best of luck.

Sincerely,
Susan Sammon and Jan Rosenfeld
