To advance education in seafaring and seamanship by providing publicly available scholarships, bursaries, and other forms of financial assistance to students pursuing vocational studies in the field.

To undertake activities ancillary and incidental to the attainment of the above charitable purposes.

“Attending Bosun School is the best and fastest way to get from being an amateur sail trainee to landing a job as a paid crew member on a traditional sailing ship. Without the financial help from the NSSES, I wouldn’t have been able to attend Bosun School at the end of the 2017 sailing season…” – Rafik
