WAVE’s Community Outreach Scholarship Fund (COSF) was created to support underserved schools in the Tri-State area. Applying for the scholarship does not automatically qualify your school to receive funding. Funding is granted based on need and other applications received. Schools must be within 30 miles of Newport Aquarium and have at least 75% or more of students on the free/reduced lunch program. The application and it’s requirements are found within the Program Request Form. Funding for COSF is provided by the Dater and Nippert Foundations.
