Carlisle-Besseling will be awarded $10,000. The scholarship winner is selected by a panel of adult advisors on various criteria including safety at sea.
In loving memory of their son Chris, his parents, Bill and Joan Cvengros, have established a $10,000 college scholarship to be awarded each year to a qualifying applicant. The scholarship recognizes those youth who like Chris have spent years as Mariners Sea Scouts pursuing a better knowledge and enjoyment of the sea as well as developing an emphasis on safety.
Mariners 936 Sea Scouts inspire and empower youth from 14 through 18 years old through sailing, fostering confidence, teamwork, leadership, camaraderie, and a love for the sea. They provide maritime education, on and off the water, creating opportunities for personal growth and lifelong connections with the marine environment.
