Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships
The 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, which is 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, executive branch, or appropriate associations/institutions located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one year paid fellowship. The program is named in honor of one of Sea Grant's founders, former NOAA Administrator, John A. Knauss. For additional information regarding this fellowship, please visit http://www.nsgo.seagrant.org/knauss.html.

Research Experience for Undergraduates Marine Science Fellowships
Alabama’s Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) will offer eight undergraduate fellowships in marine science during the Summer Semester 2006 as part of the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Students selected for the program will participate in an intensive 12-week research experience in which they will work within a faculty research group to develop and complete their own independent research project. REU participants will also benefit from a series of workshops on professional skills, and attend lectures by outstanding visiting speakers. DISL will award up to 8 semester hours for this experience with prior approval from the student’s home campus.

NOAA Education Resources
