Applications are now being accepted for the 2020 John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, sponsored by NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program. This year all Washington, D.C. applicants are required to apply through Delaware Sea Grant.
The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The program matches highly qualified graduate students with "hosts" in the legislative and executive branch of government located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one year paid fellowship, which is anticipated to begin February 1, 2020.
ELIGIBILITY
An eligible applicant is any student, regardless of citizenship, who,
- on February 22, 2019, is enrolled towards a degree in a graduate program
- has an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources.
- The graduate degree needs to be awarded through a United States accredited institution of higher education in the United States or U.S. Territories.
- This is a onetime fellowship opportunity. Applicants that have participated in the fellowship in past years will not be eligible to submit an application.
