“We believe the solution to poverty is not more money. It is knowledge.”

Geneive Brown Metzger, LLD Hon, President & Executive Director, ACMF

About the ACMF

The American Caribbean Maritime Foundation mission is to “Alleviate poverty and transform lives in the Caribbean through maritime education and community development”.

Our Scholarships

We believe that the maritime industry has a critical and unique role to play in reducing poverty, addressing gender inequality issues, and spurring economic growth in the Caribbean. As of 2025 we have expended almost 2MUSD on over four hundred scholarships and grants to recipients across the Caribbean.

 

The Foundation

The Foundation funds scholarships, grants, equipment for maritime training and education in the Caribbean. We extend scholarships to students attending or planning to attend any of our academic partners. Thanks to the cruise and cargo companies, port developers and generous individuals who support our mission.

Career Exchange

The ACMF currently operates a Career Exchange Programme. We encourage students to complete their profile on the jobs board even if they have not yet graduated. We invite employers to list job openings and internships on our jobs board. The platform is free to employers and candidates.
