The Faculty Advisor of The Year Award & The Bruce and Dorothy Rylander Johnson Scholarship

About this program

SNAME (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers) awards a Faculty Advisor of the Year Award to recognize a Student Section Advisor’s significant contributions and administers the Bruce and Dorothy Rylander Johnson Scholarship—funded by Bruce and Dorothy Rylander Johnson—to support outstanding undergraduates in naval, marine, and ocean engineering. Student Section leaders may nominate advisors online; the Student Steering Committee and Awards Committee review and approve the Faculty Advisor recipient. The Faculty Advisor of the Year, in consultation with SNAME’s Scholarships Committee, selects scholarship recipient(s); eligible students must be full‑time undergraduates in naval architecture, marine, or ocean engineering and have been SNAME Student Members for at least four months prior to the award. If no Faculty Advisor of the Year is named, the Scholarships Committee may award the scholarship directly; a "NEW Deadline: 15 MAY" is listed (no year) and specific award amounts are not provided.
