Jean-Paul Henry Memorial Scholarship
Jean-Paul Henry was a beloved young man who showed up fully for everything that mattered in his life.
Jean-Paul was just twenty-two when he passed away. Though his life was cut short, it was full of passion and love. Jean-Paul worked in the marine industry with dedication and purpose, and he was, above all else, a devoted father. In a world that often asks young people to choose between their ambitions and their responsibilities, Jean-Paul chose both. He carried his commitment to his work and family with equal pride.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Jean-Paul Henry by supporting young men who are walking a similar path in building a future in the marine and maritime field while raising the next generation.
Any current or expecting father may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are at least a high school senior and are currently employed, enrolled, or actively pursuing training in the marine or maritime industry. However, applicants who are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five years old are preferred.
To apply, tell us how fatherhood has impacted the way you show up for your future, how you balance the demands of work and parenting, what keeps you going, and what legacy you’re building.
