Subject: Graduate Fellowship Opportunities Now Open!
Michigan Sea Grant is accepting applications for two prestigious national fellowships, managed by the National Sea Grant Program. Please help us share these opportunities with any graduate students who may be interested!

In addition, see below for application guidelines for the Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program, which provides funding for graduate students from minority/underrepresented groups.

The John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship provides a unique educational experience to students who have an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The program matches graduate students with federal legislative or executive offices in Washington, D.C. where they will work on a range of policy and management projects. The Knauss Fellowship will run from February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026. Application deadline is February 15, 2024.
