Scholarships

The MTS ROV Scholarship makes grants annually to MTS Student members interested in ROV’s or work that promotes the use of ROV’s. Since 1994, over $450,000 has been awarded to over 100 deserving MTS Student Members.

In addition to scholarships, the ROV Committee also supports the MATE ROV Competition each year with a financial contribution to help continue their excellent work promoting STEM Education and ROV’s. In recognition of the extra effort required by the competitors, we established a special MATE ROV Scholarship which is presented to a student who not only meets the qualifications but who has also competed in the MATE competition.

The ROV Committee funds these activities with money received from our annual Underwater Intervention Conference (www.underwaterintervention.com) held in New Orleans which is jointly sponsored with the International Association of Diving Contractors. The scholarship recipients are announced and recognized at the Awards Dinner at UI.
