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.
