About the Chapman Impact Program

The Chapman Impact Program connects a cohort of Semester at Sea students with carefully selected nonprofits in countries we visit, giving them an up-close and hands-on introduction to each organization’s work to craft bold solutions to both global and local challenges.

The Program provides capacity-building project grants to vetted international partners doing beneficial work in Semester at Sea port countries. In tandem, organizational partners collaborate with Semester at Sea to craft immersive, action-oriented Field Classes exploring those pressing social, economic, or environmental challenges which they are working to transform.
