[SEMCO] Summer Internship for Students Interested in Underwater Careers

[Sheri DeRosa]

Frank Scalli Annual Summer Internship

The Boston Sea Rovers are currently accepting applications for the 2007 
Frank Scalli Annual Summer Internship.  Qualified graduating high school 
seniors and college freshman interested in pursuing underwater careers 
are encouraged to apply to the Sea Rovers by October 31, 2006.

Immediately following graduation or the spring semester, the 2007 
scholar will intern with members of the Boston Sea Rovers and associates 
located throughout the United States to experience a wide variety of 
jobs and career choices.  Based in part on the personal interests of the 
scholar, the Internship will provide advanced dive training courses and 
ample opportunities to dive and train with a variety of dive 
professionals in a broad cross section of diving environments.  
Opportunities will include hands-on work with professional underwater 
photographers and filmmakers, educational specialists, marine engineers 
and scientists, equipment manufacturer's representatives, and dive shop 
owners.

In addition to the unique time spent with some of our most distinguished 
members, the Scalli Intern will be outfitted with a full set of dive 
equipment (provided by Sea Rover Clinic corporate sponsors) for their 
use throughout the summer and will receive the necessary financial 
support to ensure travel and living expenses.

A six-member Board comprised of Sea Rovers and the Scalli family selects 
each year's intern. Interested candidates should visit our website, 
www.bostonsearovers.com to see what past interns experienced and to 
download the application package for the 2007 Internship. To be 
considered for the Scalli Internship, candidates must: 

- be a certified diver from New England;
- have earned a minimum GPA of 3.4 out of 4.0 (or equivalent) and be on 
track to graduate from high school by June of the Internship year or 
attending college at the time of application;
- be 18 years old by the beginning of their Internship;
- and submit a complete scholarship application package that includes an 
essay on why the candidate wants to pursue a career in the underwater 
world and how this scholarship can help them achieve that goal.

The Sea Rovers must receive all packages by October 31, 2006.

Good luck and we look forward to receiving your application.
