Apply for 2011 Federal Marine Policy Fellowship

The California Sea Grant College Program is now accepting applications for
the Class of 2011 Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships.

The Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program is a National Sea Grant
sponsored federal fellows program that provides a unique educational
experience to students who have an interest in marine/ocean/Great Lakes
resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources.
The program matches highly qualified graduate students with hosts in the
legislative branch, executive branch, or appropriate
associations/institutions located in the Washington, D.C. area for a
one-year paid fellowship ($35,000 stipend). An additional $9,000 will be
used to cover mandatory health insurance for fellows, moving expenses,
academic degree-related and fellowship-related travel.

The full request for application and application guidelines are available on
California Sea Grant's Knauss website at
