Vocational student wins research grant for scallops project-
3/18/02
Justin N. Bourgeois, a 15-year-old sophomore majoring in computer technology at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational-Technical High School, has landed a student research grant to help restore eelgrass and bay scallops to Apponegansett Bay in Dartmouth.
The $2,500 grant was announced by Dr. Carol L. Reinisch, president of the Marjot Foundation of Falmouth, at the March 12 meeting of the GNB Voc-Tech School Committee.
Marjot Reception-
A reception was recently held at the Marjot Foundation on December 9th from 4 to 6:30 P.M. Where the students presented their work to date in a poster session at the reception.
An Overview of 2000-
2000 was a landmark year for Marjot. We continue to work with four Marjot awardees , Kristin Almeida, Patrick Duddy, Phillip Sousa and Ryan Stone and their mentor, Mr. Chris Boyle, from Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts. These students are examining aberrations in Mother's Brook, a stream running into the Taunton River which has been plagued with water quality issues for years. An increase in funding from the Ramlose Foundation will enable Marjot to expand into the New Bedford, Mass school system and work with a new student group plus mentor in 2001.
For the first time in our short history, funding has been received from an anonymous donor which is specifically directed towards overhead. This three-year commitment will result in a 60% reduction in out of pocket expenses and insure that a much larger portion of our budget goes directly towards student aid.
Since our last letter, Sarah Houghton, the 2000 Marjot awardee, won her division in the Massachusetts Science Fair based upon Marjot funded work. Sarah was also a semi-finalist in the national Intel competition for high school students.

If you are a high school student with a passion for using science to better understand the environment, you may qualify for a grant to develop your scientific project.
Carol Reinish, a Woods Hole scientist, has established a private nonprofit foundation called the Marjot Foundation. The foundation is devoted to helping young people study environmental science and it gives small grants and pays for scientific equipment to help students work with a teacher on a project.
