The Maritime Educational Foundation (MEF) Trustees have agreed to increase their Cadet bursaries by 25% following the changes in SMarT funding.

This significant increase demonstrates the MEF’s commitment to Cadet training, providing essential support, particularly with the recent increase in the cost-of-living expenses.

The increase is effective immediately and will be back dated to 1st September 2022.
