ISEA has had a wonderful 2008 season, with over 4,000 new students sailing aboard our vessels. Each of these students has received a unique opportunity of experiencing the Great Lakes first-hand, guided by a professional staff and exceptional volunteer instructors.
This could not have happened without the help of hundreds of ISEA donors who know the value of experiencial learning. Thank you!

Adopt-A-Class Scholarship
Inland Sea's Adopt-A-Class Scholarship Program enables donors to become personally involved with our students and with Inland Seas' mission of Protecting the Great Lakes Through Education.
When you provide an Adopt-A-Class Scholarship, you can come
aboard and sail with the very class you're sponsoring. Choose a school you would like to support, or select a sailing date that works for you. You can bring along a couple of guests to share the experience, too. Think how rewarding it will be for you to see your gift transformed into real action aboard our tall ship.
