Apply for a bursary
At Sea Smart, we deeply value the diversity of our community, and are dedicated to ensuring that our programs are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. To do this, we have developed a bursary program, open to anyone who needs it.
Our bursary program is currently available for select school workshops and summer camps.
We've introduced a sliding scale to accommodate a range of needs, including those who may require 100% coverage. We understand and respect that choice, while also encouraging everyone to reflect on the broader impact it can have.
After filling out your form, we will be in touch with you regarding your application. Once approved, we will provide instructions for purchase and registration.
Why the Sliding Scale?
Our sliding scale is designed to uphold principles of inclusivity and sustainability. Here's why it's an essential part of what we do:
Fostering Inclusivity
The sliding scale guarantees fair access to financial assistance for all applicants. We want to celebrate and embrace the diverse range of individuals who seek to be part of our programs, regardless of their financial resources.
Sustaining Our Vision
Providing full subsidies to all applicants could strain our ability to continue offering bursaries. When applicants contribute a portion of the program cost, they help ensure the sustainability of our mission, making it possible for future participants to benefit as well.
Expanding Opportunities
Our mission is to create a learning community that welcomes people from all walks of life. The sliding scale opens doors for a wider array of participants, contributing to a more vibrant and enriched learning experience.
Empowering Choices
Your thoughtful decision can be a beacon of support for those who genuinely need 100% coverage. It demonstrates that we're all here to uplift each other, no matter our circumstances.
A choice with consideration
While we encourage you to contemplate the broader implications of your choice, we want to emphasize that seeking 100% coverage is a valid and respected option. We understand that some individuals genuinely require this level of support, and we are here to honor your needs and choices.
