Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE: OSG) (the “Company” or
“OSG”) is proud to continue its efforts to remove barriers for
women entering the maritime industry. Through the Women Offshore
Foundation, OSG gave $30,500 in scholarships to four women - two
attending SUNY Maritime Academy, one at Great Lakes Maritime
Academy and one at Maine Maritime Academy. The scholarships will
empower these women cadets to achieve their deck and engine
credentials during their 2024 summer sea term as they pursue
careers within the maritime industry.
“We are incredibly proud to support these exceptional women as
they follow their aspirations to pursue a fulfilling career within
the US maritime sector,” said Sam Norton, OSG’s President and CEO.
“Building a strong future for shipping requires shipowners to
actively participate in attracting and retaining the best talent
available from all backgrounds. These awards will help alleviate
the financial obstacles for deserving women and provide them an
opportunity to succeed within our industry.”
"The Women Offshore Foundation is thankful for OSG’s continued
support of our Summer Sea Term Scholarships,” said Ally Cedeno,
Founder and President of the Women Offshore Foundation. “The
collaboration between OSG and Women Offshore will continue to
foster opportunities enabling women to remove financial barriers
and pursue their careers as licensed mariners in the US maritime
industry. We are excited to witness the success stories made
possible through scholarships by supporters like OSG.”
OSG’s scholarship recipients gain much more than financial
support as they will join OSG’s network, receiving mentoring and
guidance throughout their term. The four women participating in
this year’s summer sea join in OSG’s ongoing efforts to create a
diverse maritime workforce. These scholarships are part of OSG’s
commitment to provide more than $90,000 in scholarships over a
three-year period, with four recipients last year also receiving
OSG scholarships.
