Continuing its support of students wishing to enter maritime, transportation and logistics fields, Crowley

He is currently a first classman and regimental human relations training officer at the acade- my as well as a senior crewmember of the M/V Growler, an ex- Coast Guard harbor tug attached to the Academy's waterfront.

Griffin is a senior from Towson, Md. He is the acade- my's regimental waterfront officer, the skipper of the

Mitchell is a marine transportation major and has earned five academic stars while at the academy. He was junior class president, a drill instructor for the class of 2006, a member of the color guard, a crewmember for two years with the varsity offshore team and editor of the midshipman newspaper.

Crowley has provided scholarship aid to USMMA stu- dents since 1993. To qualify, students must obtain a pre- determined grade point average (GPA) and posses lead- ership skills identified by the college and by Crowley.

The recipients are chosen each year in the spring and fall by the academy but aren't formally recognized until

December. Crowley also extends formal internships when possible as an additional benefit to the scholarship recipients.
