Important Notice:
After considerable thought and discussion, the Society is suspending Scholarship awards in all three regions - North America, Europe, and Australasia - for 2026. In the interim, we encourage you to consider one of our amazing internships. The Internship program will continue as usual with the application period opening on December 1, 2025.
OWUSS is taking this time to review the mission and goals of the Society and determine the best path forward. As we do so, we will seek enhanced engagement with our alumni, hosts, sponsors, and other interested parties.
For more information about the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society, to make a much-appreciated donation, or to inquire about becoming a sponsor, please visit our website at www.owuscholarship.org, or email us at info@owuscholarship.org.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement:
The underwater world connects us all—we are as dependent on the oceans as we are on each other. As a global organization, the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society™ celebrates the extraordinary human diversity of the planet as we seek to provide educational opportunities that help young leaders develop their full potential to engage in an ever more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable world. We aspire to be an organization that leads with its values, and embraces diversity, respect, and collaboration as vital to our learning culture.
