Make a Gift - Help Change a Life

Scholarship Funding

Maine’s seafaring heritage is one of our most enriching cultural, economic and educational resources. Sailing Ships Maine delivers experiential sail training programs that change the lives of Maine students helping them disconnect from their digital lives and connect to their natural environment, their maritime history and their hands and minds.


To achieve our goal, we ask you to consider sponsoring scholarships for students who do not have the financial means to benefit from these experiences. 


As a Sailing Ships Maine donor, you have the ability to change the direction of students’ lives by helping them spend a week at sea.  You have the chance to spark new lifelong interests and to focus a young adult’s attention on new life possibilities. Our programs are academically accredited by Maine high schools.


Please be a positive influence on this next generation of students by connecting them to an education at sea.
