Scholarship To Plant the Seed for New Jersey’s Aquaculture and Fisheries Future

NJMSC and its New Jersey Sea Grant Extension Program have established a scholarship fund to honor Stew Tweed, a long-time Marine Extension Agent for New Jersey who passed away in February 2007. The scholarship will perpetuate Stew’s memory by recognizing his twenty-seven years of service and commitment to New Jersey’s commercial fishing industry and his valuable contributions toward revitalizing the State’s oyster populations. Beginning in 2008, scholarships will be awarded to a graduating high-school or vocational school senior and an undergraduate or graduate student pursuing studies, careers or research focused on aquaculture and fisheries.
