About AMCF
The ACMF is a U.S. non-profit tax-exempt organization, and is the only entity dedicated to sponsoring academic scholarships and grants for aspiring Caribbean and CARICOM seafarers. We partner with four academic institutions within the Caricom: MatPal Marine Institute, Caribbean Maritime University in Jamaica, LJM Maritime Academy in The Bahamas, and The University of Trinidad and Tobago. To date, we have funded ninety-four full tuition scholarships and grants for students from Guyana, Jamaica, Bahamas, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica, Suriname, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. The foundation responded to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by donating dozens of laptops and awarding emergency grants to help students study remotely and those at risk of dropping out. This year, the ACMF launched a dedicated jobs board, ACMF-CAREX, to support aspiring maritime professionals in the Caribbean find positions in the industry.
We can’t thank you enough for your support.
