The HBCU Research Fellowship is designed to encourage young people to reach their highest potential, to create in them the courage to embrace risk and change on their way to becoming future global leaders, and to ensure that the voyage is accessible to all students regardless of financial limitations. Recipients of the HBCU Research Fellowship will be expected to embody the spirit of the Semester at Sea mission and maintain the highest standards of conduct and academic participation. To be eligible for the scholarship, you must be an undergraduate student at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), and demonstrate leadership through participation in community service, extracurricular, or other activities.
