The Paul Walker Foundation believes meaningful change begins with curiosity and the courage to turn that curiosity into action.

The Ocean Leadership Award supports emerging leaders dedicated to protecting our oceans, advancing environmental stewardship, and creating positive impact. By investing in the next generation, we aim to remove financial barriers and empower passionate students to pursue careers that help build a healthier planet. Whether your path leads to marine science, engineering, environmental policy, education, sustainable business, conservation, art, or another field, we want to support your journey. We recognize that protecting our oceans depends on healthy ecosystems, thoughtful innovation, and collaboration across many disciplines.

Inspired by Paul Walker's lifelong love of the ocean and his belief in using your passions to serve others, this award is more than a scholarship. It's an invitation to join the Paul Walker Foundation family—a community of ocean leaders committed to carrying forward his legacy through curiosity, integrity, kindness, service, and a shared commitment to Do Good®. If you're driven by curiosity, compassion, and a desire to leave the world better than you found it, we encourage you to apply.
