Sea Grant Fellowships
Introduction to Sea Grant Fellowships [PDF; 469 KB]
NOAA's National Sea Grant Program offers three different fellowship opportunities: the John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, the Sea Grant/NOAA Fisheries Graduate Fellowship, and the Sea Grant Industry Fellowship. In most cases, application is made locally through Alaska Sea Grant.
The Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is well suited for graduate students with an interest in national policy decisions affecting coastal and ocean resources. The fellowship involves spending a year in the Washington, D.C., area in an executive or legislative position. Recipients work on substantive national policy issues related to aquatic resources. Announcements of the program are usually distributed in February of each year, and applications are due in early to mid-March for fellowships beginning the following February. See the Alaska Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship page for details.
The Sea Grant / NOAA Fisheries Fellowship is for Ph.D. students interested in careers in: (1) population dynamics of living marine resources and development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing their status, and (2) economics of conservation and management of living marine resources. Recipients work with a mentor from NOAA Fisheries. See the NMFS/SG Joint Fellowship section of the National Sea Grant RFP page for more details. Applications should be submitted to Alaska Sea Grant.
Other National Sea Grant requests for proposal also can be found on the National Sea Grant RFP page.
