Sea Grant Fellowships

Sea Grant fellowship programs provide opportunities for graduate students and early-career professionals to gain experience in marine, coastal, fisheries, aquaculture, and policy-related fields. Programs vary across the Sea Grant network and may include fellowships focused on marine policy, fisheries, aquaculture, coastal management, and other ocean-related issues.

One well-known opportunity is the NOAA Sea Grant Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, which places qualified graduate students in marine policy positions. Eligibility, deadlines, placement locations, funding, and application requirements vary by fellowship, so students should review the individual program information before applying.
