As we read through our final Summer Sea Term 2026 scholarship surveys, one theme came through loud and clear: gratitude.

Cadets shared heartfelt appreciation for the alumni and donors who invested in their education and future. Your generosity made a meaningful difference—not only by helping reduce the financial burden of Summer Sea Term, but by making life-changing experiences possible.

"Thank you for investing in my education and making experiences like this Summer Sea Term possible."

"This experience was priceless, and I will look upon it favorably for the rest of my life."

Perhaps most meaningful, many cadets shared that they hope to one day pay it forward:

"I hope to be able to help out the next generation like you did."

To every MCAA scholarship donor—thank you for believing in our cadets and helping shape the next generation of maritime professionals.
