In the Community

Marine Atlantic is proud to give back to the communities it works in. That’s why we encourage employees to get involved with volunteerism, and we actively support a wide range of charities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia.

Education and youth

Marine Atlantic’s annual scholarship program awards dependent children of employees or pensioners with funds for post-secondary education on the basis of merit. The program provides for up to four $2,000 university entrance scholarships and four $1,000 trade school entrance scholarships.

Marine Atlantic also provides four scholarships annually, each $1,500, to students enrolled in either the Nautical Science or Marine Engineering programs at Memorial University’s Marine Institute.

Community Investment

Marine Atlantic employees are actively involved in their communities. To the extent it is fiscally responsible to do so, the Corporation supports such employees and not-for-profit organizations in areas surrounding its operations.
