IYRS Industry Partner Program
Each year, approximately 70% of IYRS students require scholarships in order to make their IYRS education possible. As with any non-profit institution, our funding is limited. If more scholarship funding were available, we could educate more students who would be trained and eager to enter the marine trades and modern manufacturing workforce.
