Maritime Academy will host the 14th Annual Admiral's Ball on November 14th,
2008 at the Ballroom of the Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston, MA. 

 

The Admiral's Ball is one of several MMA efforts to address $9 million
dollars in unmet financial need among MMA cadets every year.  In the current
economic crisis, the financial resources of many students and their families
have withered and they face fewer and more expensive choices in the college
loan market. The Admiral's Ball aims to raise funds for scholarships to make
this extraordinary education more accessible for these students.

 

The first priority of the Admiral's Ball is to fund the Emery Rice and other
Presidential Scholarships at the Academy. These are MMA's most rigorous
scholarship programs with strong selection standards and a highly
competitive field of applicants. Scholarship winners are selected to receive
a scholarship equivalent to tuition, room, and board. At each Admiral's Ball
we honor the remarkable accomplishments of these future leaders.

 

The Admiral's Ball is the primary source of funding for these programs, and
the Academy raises funds for the program each year. Proceeds from named
sponsorships, the tickets from over 500 expected guests and advertisements
in the dinner journal fund these important scholarships.

 

For further information about the event, please contact Trudy Avery in the
Advancement Office at (508) 830-5045, tavery at maritime.edu or find the event
