The Merchants Exchange Scholarship Fund awards $3,000 to students pursuing careers in maritime trade and international commerce in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The fund is administered by the Merchants Exchange of Portland, one of the oldest maritime trade organizations on the West Coast. The scholarship supports both traditional degree-seeking students and those enrolled in USCG-certified programs.
Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited 2-year, 4-year, graduate degree, or USCG-certified program in the Maritime Field and/or International Trade, with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Four-year students must have completed the equivalent of two academic years; two-year program students may apply in their first or second year.
Complete the online scholarship application and maintain minimum GPA, regular attendance, and course completion standards. Applications are submitted through the Merchants Exchange scholarship portal.
