About Us
The Jean-Pierre Ayala Scholarship was created to support students majoring in Marine or Ocean Sciences. This scholarship rewards young scientists and supports the ongoing expansion of marine studies as an imperative tool in the future of our planet.
With water covering 71% of our planet, and 97% of that water coming from our oceans, the importance of taking care of our oceans is clear. The Jean-Pierre Ayala Scholarship awards $1,000.00 annually to two students that have demonstrated commitment to valuing and fostering the betterment of our oceanic environment as reflected in their academic performance and personal activities.
