SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS & INTERNSHIPS
Scholarships, Fellowships, Internships
A great way to start to involve yourself in the marine and ocean sciences is to begin working in an internship or summer program that includes the fields in which you are interested. There are numerous internships and summer opportunities for students interested in marine and ocean science. The NOSB's Coastal and Ocean Science Training Internship Program (COAST) can provide insight into possible careers in marine and ocean science and offer valuable experience in the field. The NOSB's National Ocean Scholar Program is available to students interested in ocean and marine science.
NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship Program - This scholarship provides up to $8,000 per year for undergraduates in their junior and senior year who are studying oceanic, environmental, biological, and atmospheric sciences, mathematics, engineering, remote sensing technology, physical and social sciences including geography, physics, hydrology, geomatics, or teacher education that support NOAA's programs and mission.
As a demonstration of the Surfrider Foundation's continuing commitment to education, in 2005 its Board of Directors extended the guidelines and scope of the Surfrider Foundation's Scholarship program and allocated $10,000 in funds to be made available to grantees enrolled in an accredited college or university in the U.S. or internationally for the academic year of 2007-2008. Awards may be made at the undergraduate, Masters and Ph.D. levels, and are now available to qualified applicants pursuing studies in a wide range of fields deemed compatible and consistent with the Surfrider Foundation's Mission Statement and Guiding Principles.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Internships: The Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution offers an informal internship program in which a
limited number of college undergraduates and graduate students are accepted
as Guest Students in our laboratories on a year-round basis. Advanced high
school students enrolled in Upper Cape and Island schools may also be
eligible as guest students. Guest Student positions at WHOI are extremely
limited, and the ability to place a Guest Student depends on whether the
student's interests and academic background coincide with available openings
at the time the application is received. Scientists do have the ability to
invite their own Guest Students, so it is strongly recommended that a
prospective student contact the scientist(s) with whom he or she is
interested in working. Guest Students are responsible for arranging their
own room and board, and are expected to arrive with their own health
insurance. Guest Student appointments are made for periods of up to one
year. An appointment can be renewed if the circumstances warrant it, and the
student is in good standing at his or her home institution. WHOI does not
issue academic credit for Guest Student work, but a description and
evaluation of a student's work is available upon request. Guest Students are
expected to observe the regular working hours of the Institution and are
encouraged to participate in the many seminars and lecture programs of the
Woods Hole scientific community.
