Cal Maritime's Presidential Scholarships recognize the academic achievements of top California Freshman enrolling in each of our seven academic degree programs (majors). The Scholarships are funded through the generous donations to the Cal Maritime Foundation by businesses and individuals. Demonstrating financial need is not required to receive these scholarships.

Seven scholarships will be awarded each academic year to students selected from those who meet scholarship qualifications (below).  Each award is $6,000 per academic year (Fall and Spring terms only) renewable for up to four years. Failure to maintain satisfactory academic standing for any semester or failure to comply with the specified criteria outlined below will result in the loss of this scholarship.
