1. Student Scholarships
SML proudly provides need-based and merit-based scholarships to all students in need. Help us make a summer courses at SML widely available to all interested students by giving to Student Scholarships today!
2. Research Internships
Research internships provide unique fieldwork opportunities for undergrads, which improve their resumes and often their first real-world science experience. Support is critical to the successful training of these developing scientists!
3. Faculty Support
The courses offered at the Shoals Marine Laboratory are taught by leaders in the fields of marine science and ecology. Your support helps us continue to attract top-notch professors to help us train tomorrow's science leaders!
4. Island Operations
Appledore Island is located 7 miles off the coast. Between vessel maintenance, building maintenance, supplying our own water and energy - operating costs are understandably high. A donation to SML goes a long way to offset some of these costs!
5. Capital Projects
Boats and buildings are on our current list of capital project needs. Grants, foundations and private donors make these critical infrastructure upgrades possible.
Thank you for your interest in supporting SML. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a big difference for SML students and island operations!
