This federal grant opportunity seeks applications from graduate students for the Fiscal Year 2025 National Sea Grant College Program Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship. Up to 35 fellows will be selected to participate in a one-year paid policy fellowship beginning February 2025. The fellowship aims to provide graduate students an educational experience in marine resource policy processes within the legislative and executive branches of the federal government. Eligible students must apply through their state Sea Grant program by February 15, 2024. Selected applications will then be reviewed at the state and national level based on criteria including the applicant's curriculum vitae, personal and career statements, recommendations, and coursework.

Each fellowship award is valued at $93,900 to support the one-year placement. Successful applicants will participate in their assigned fellowships within legislative and executive offices in Washington, D.C. that deal with ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will administer the awards under the Department of Commerce and Sea Grant Support federal grant program.
Synopsis
NOAA provides funding to Sea Grant institutions to increase the understanding, assessment, development, management, utilization, and conservation of the Nation's ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources by providing assistance to promote a strong educational base, responsive research and training activities, broad and prompt dissemination of knowledge and techniques, and multidisciplinary approaches to environmental problems, in accordance with 33 USC 1121(b).
The Sea Grant Act includes a legislative mandate to provide an educational experience in the policies and processes of the legislative and executive branches of the federal government for students enrolled in graduate or professional programs that have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. In 1979, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Sea Grant College Program (Sea Grant) initiated the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program to help fulfill its broad educational responsibilities and meet this legislative mandate. The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program meets NOAA's mission of "Science, service and stewardship.
The National Sea Grant College Program values diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in both our organization and the communities we serve. Through the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship we strive to provide an educational and employment opportunity for current and recent graduate students interested in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and the national policy decisions affecting those resources, regardless of race, color, religion, place of origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, disability or veteran status.
