John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship

The Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship provides a unique educational experience to graduate students interested 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 in the Washington, D.C. area for a one year paid fellowship.

For the 21st century, the Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program is committed to advancing marine-related educational and career goals of participating students and to increasing partnerships between universities and government.
