The Moby Dick Scholarship

All Proceeds from our book “Moby Dick in 101 Pages” go towards this scholarship. This scholarship was created to help high school students who are getting ready to “go a whaling” (meaning going to college or a secondary education).

The scholarship is offered annually and is paid to 5 selected High School Students at $1,000 per student.
