The mission is to identify and develop the next generation of dive leaders and underwater researchers. For more than 35 years, the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society and Rolex have fostered the development of future leaders of the underwater environment and are now calling out for new applicants to be considered for the 2010 Scholarships. During their scholarship year, three deserving recipients have the opportunity to travel internationally and learn from the world's leading experts in conservation, underwater photography, maritime archaeology, marine engineering and other related fields. Each of the three scholarship recipients will be presented with a Rolex Submariner Date timepiece at a special event held on April 10, 2010 at the iconic Explorer's Club in New York City.
If you or somebody you know are between the ages of 21 and 26, have high academic standing and achieved Rescue Diver or equivalent certification, continue reading to learn how being the next Rolex Scholar can be a live-changing experience.
