As we enter the 5th year of the Caroline Kelly Memorial Education Fund, we are offering a new scholarship in all things maritime: Marine biology, Ocean Ecology, Marine engineering, Ocean-related Environmental Sciences, Seamanship, Navigation, Marine Sciences, and any other appropriate field.

Caroline was passionate about the environment and a lover of all things ocean. We feel this scholarship is befitting of her benevolence and her dreams for a better planet.

We are looking for students who seek to make a difference as to the health of the ocean and ergo, to our planet. Applicants must otherwise fulfill the parameters of the Fund and the awards will be made in Spring of 2024.

CKMEF scholarships can be applied for any time. However, scholarships are awarded for the Spring and Fall semesters only. The deadlines to apply are June 1 for Fall Semesters and November 1 for Spring semesters. Awards are made each year on July 31 and December 31.

This scholarship is intended for undergraduates and graduate students pursuing degrees in any and all fields who meet the criteria of the scholarship fund. This scholarship is designed to promote academic excellence and increases the visibility of talented students who meet the criteria.

The shaded discrimination she encountered when she transitioned, made her acutely aware of the trials and tribulations a transgender individual must deal with. She knew that only through education could a transgender person attain respect, dignity and a higher station in life.

It was her request upon her death that the Carolyn Kelly Education Fund be formed to help underprivileged and transgender individuals attain their true potential no matter their station in life.
