The Women Divers Hall of Fame ™ (WDHOF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and raising awareness of the contributions of outstanding women divers. WDHOF provides educational, mentorship, financial, and career opportunities to the diving community throughout the world. Each year, WDHOF awards scholarships and training grants that provide financial and educational support to individuals of all ages, particularly those who are preparing for professional careers that involve diving.

Scholarships/Fellowships/Internships are offered in marine conservation, marine biology, underwater archaeology, seagrass and coral rehabilitation, sea turtle conservation, extreme environment physiology, and journalism/graphic arts/photography/videography. They are intended to support independent research, field work, and conservation/rehabilitation activities, as specified in the descriptions. Scholarships/Fellowships/Internships are paid directly to the recipient.

Training grants provide funding for diving and related underwater training. WDHOF and our sponsors offer several dive training grants for both beginners and certified divers to advance their skills. For training conducted in the U.S., funds are paid directly to the training facility upon WDHOF’s receipt of an invoice;they are NOT paid directly to the grantee. For training that is not conducted in the U.S., the grantee must submit an invoice, and funds will be transferred to the grantee’s bank account.

Thank you to all of our Scholarship & Training Grant Sponsors!
