John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program

The Sea Grant John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program provides 30 to 50 students per year with a full year of experience working on marine issues in a Congressional staff office or in a federal agency such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Applications are encouraged from students who are interested in learning about and connecting to their government, and who are enrolled in a graduate or professional program in a marine- or aquatic-related field at a U.S.--accredited institution of higher learning.

Since the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program was initiated in 1979, it has allowed more than 650 students to share their expertise with policy makers in Washington, D.C., to see firsthand how science is used in the policy arena, and to participate in policy making.

Alaska students must apply through the Alaska Sea Grant office, which may forward up to five applications for consideration by the National Sea Grant program. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Alaska Sea Grant as early as possible.

The deadline to apply to Alaska Sea Grant for the 2013 fellowship is February 2012. Learn more and apply at: http://seagrant.uaf.edu/research/knauss.html
