The ExcellenSeas community, its pillars & how it works

What «ExcellenSeas» Mean

The Scholarship

Each program scholar is awarded 6,000 € per year to cover his academic costs.

The Guidance

Each individual scholar is assigned a personal scientific advisor with the purpose of monitoring and guiding him/her in academic and professional matters. Additionally, as a further extension of this initiative, a scientific advisor shall be assigned, under the same cause, for those individuals interested, among those who had applied and did not receive a scholarship.

The Awareness

The awareness of the world, the information on the actions of ExcellenSeas, and the expansion of the community are undertaken by the Pastra Cretonaxiosa swimming group with its action.

The Internship

A further pillar of the ExcellenSeas program provides the opportunity to those students who wish to enrich their professional experience and have applied for scholarships, whether they received one or not, to participate in short-term internships in industries related to their academic background.

The ExcellenSeas Community

The ExcellenSeas community is made up of scholars, now graduates of the program, and the scientific team of consultants.

The scientific team is made up of distinguished university professors and senior business executives.

Our vision is for the community to grow with new scholars and, after the end of the program, to assist the new members as consultants.
