Mission
WE ARE A 501.C.3 ORGANIZATION YOUR DONATIONS ARE A TAX DEDUCTION
Welcome to the 2026 Man in the Sea Museum Scholarship Program. This scholarship, formally named the Mark V Monument Project Scholarship, is an opportunity to support our Military Diving family! We are excited to be able to offer this scholarship to our Military Diving families and are grateful for the donations and volunteer efforts that enable us to continue this amazing operation.
The number and amount of scholarship awards vary each year based on the qualifications of the applicant pool and the funds available. In past years, individual awards have ranged from $500 to $3,500, depending on applicant merit. Award notifications are mailed on or around June 1 each year.
As a new element of our Scholarship Program, we will honor heroes of the military diving community whose service, sacrifice, and leadership have shaped our diving legacy. Their contributions and ethos will help guide the scholarship’s selection process.
This year, our scholarship is dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of our hero:
Jim McCarthy, SEALAB III Engineer.
