Giving Matters

Your Gift Can Change a Student’s Life.

At Semester at Sea, we see firsthand the impact our global comparative education program has on our voyagers’ educations and futures. And, because we are an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization, we are completely dependent on philanthropic gifts from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, Lifelong Learners, friends, foundations, and corporations to supplement enrollment revenues and make sailing with us a possibility for a broader range of students.

The Annual Fund

Gifts to the Semester at Sea Annual Fund have an immediate impact on our ability to provide transformational global study abroad experiences to hundreds of students each semester.

Scholarships and Endowments

You may make a donation in someone’s honor or memory, or give to a specific fund. Learn more about the funds your donation can support.
