Academic Steward Institutions
A consortium of universities contributed to the Scholar Ship's programming and were responsible for overseeing the quality of its academic offerings. Students received academic credit from Macquarie University (Australia) and hands-on experience through participation in four Port Program elements: Academic Field Programs; Community Service; Shore Excursions; and Independent Travel. The Scholar Ship's transnational learning community integrated academic, cultural, and social experiences into programs that were designed to enhance students' personal and professional development.
