WAVE Foundation’s overarching goal for the Community Outreach Scholarship Fund is to support the ability of underserved elementary and middle schools in the Tri-State area to access Newport Aquarium’s wildlife resources through our community outreach programs. WAVE Foundation believes the Newport Aquarium’s resources should be a part of every area child’s experience.
Outreach scholarship funding is provided by a donation through WAVE Foundation at Newport Aquarium. Applying for the scholarship does not automatically qualify your school to receive funding. Funding is granted based on need and other applications received.
