Deep Water - Experiential Education Project

Dear Student:

We hope the program you attended was everything you hoped and more. Since part or all of the program you attended was paid for with a scholarship from the Deepwater Project we have a few questions about how things went. Below there are three sections with questions about how the trip went for you, about the program you attended, and about the scholarship process. Please fill out as much as you can. If you are Unsure how to answer, please ask an adult to help or check the box that says “Unsure.” The more you answer, the better DEEP will be. Thanks for helping us be our best.
