Knauss Sea Grant Fellowship
The National Sea Grant Federal Fellows Program/Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship was established in 1979 to provide 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, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Sea Grant College Program, matches highly qualified graduate students with hosts in the legislative branch, the executive branch or appropriate associations/institutions located in the Washington, D.C., area for a one-year paid fellowhip. For more information, check out their web site.
