TALL SHIPS ADVENTURE

BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Providing youth with the opportunity to reach new heights for more than 30 years!

The Captain Thomas and Jeanne Fuller Bursary Fund exists to ensure that youth who would like to set sail are not left ashore for lack of funds. The late Captain Thomas. G. Fuller DSC**, renowned WWII Navy Captain and “Pirate of the Adriatic” designed and built the Fair Jeanne in his backyard, naming the vessel after his beautiful wife. It is by their example that tall ship sailing with Bytown Brigantine Tall Ships Adventure continues to build confidence and self-esteem, inspires leadership and good citizenship while fostering life-long friendships between youth.

When you apply please make all your supporting documents are submitted. Only completed applications will be reviewed by the Office. Once this has been completed you our office will have a initial conversation on the phone. The second steps is a meeting with the Bursary Committee. These occur end of April-beginning of May. Bursary recipients will be emailed by the: registrar@tallshipsadventure.org

As founding patron of Tall Ships Adventure, Jeanne Fuller’s generosity has ensured that no youth was left ashore for want of funds for over 40 years.

On Sunday, December 17th, 2017 in the warm glow of the sunset and evening star at The Moorings surrounded by her loving family while overlooking Britannia Bay, Jeanne Fuller crossed the bar reuniting with her beloved husband, Captain T.G. Fuller – together for eternity.

A wonderful life indeed. Her example of unconditional love, kindness, generosity, and sense of the moment will be commended to our hearts and enrich our lives for all the rest of our days.
