The SAS Alumni Scholars Program provides a unique and affordable way to name a scholarship.

Students receiving assistance through the SAS Alumni Scholars Program will be given the name and contact information of their donor and are encouraged to correspond with the donor who has made their Semester at Sea experience possible. Typical donor/student interaction may include email and/or letters throughout the voyage.
