John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship

The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The Fellowship matches highly qualified graduate students with 'hosts' in the legislative and executive branch of government located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one year paid fellowship. This prestigious program offers graduate students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in marine policy development and implementation within the federal government. Fellows work in various government offices, contributing to policy decisions that affect ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources while receiving professional development and networking opportunities in the nation's capital.
