Webb was picked #5 in the following Money article: 10 Best Private Colleges Where Everybody Gets a Scholarship.

No freshman pays full price at these highly rated colleges.

The cost of private college has gotten so painfully high that most schools now award scholarships to the vast majority of their students.

At least 223 colleges go even further—giving every single one of their freshmen a scholarship. (Freshmen who are U.S. citizens or legal residents, that is. Very few colleges give significant aid to international students.) Read more…

Halsey Herreshoff ’55 brought his sailboat, Rugosa, to Webb for the weekend. Built in 1926 in Bristol, Rhode Island, this 59′ New York 40-class yawl has sailed all over the east coast, Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, and crossed the Atlantic numerous times.

The purpose of the visit is to give members of the Webb family a chance to experience a classic sailing yacht and be immersed in the history of American boat building.

Glen Cove, NY  September 10, 2015 – On the heels of its 125th anniversary, Webb Institute is marking yet another impressive milestone, as it is publicly launching the most ambitious fundraising effort in the institution’s history. Through the Campaign for Webb: America’s Most Unique College, Webb aims to raise $40 million to enhance the college’s programs, infrastructure, and financial resources to meet the growing challenges of an expanding marine industry.  The financial goal represents a five-fold increase from the previous Campaign initiated in 2003.

On Tuesday,  September 8 Webb’s sophomore class visited the marine engineering laboratories at the United States Merchant Marine Academy to conduct a pump construction lab as part of Dean Werner’s Marine Engineering 2 course.  The exercise required teams of students to examine at least three different pumps to better learn the principles behind each of the pumps operation and how each of the pumps was constructed.  This trip is one of a number of hands-on experiences in the ME 2 course designed to reinforce the classroom lectures and prepare the students for their upcoming sea terms.  The class will be returning to the Academy later in the semester for a marine engineering “scavenger hunt.”
