The Massachusetts Sea Grant Research Fellowship
The Massachusetts Sea Grant Graduate Research Fellowship was created to support exceptional prospective graduate students who are engaged in coastal and marine research that furthers the goals of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant (WHOISG) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sea Grant (MITSG) programs. The Fellowship is geared towards providing funding and support for students who have not yet matriculated into a graduate program, but are applying and intend to enroll in a thesis-granting graduate program in Massachusetts during fall 2024. The focus of this Fellowship is both to support cutting-edge research and the professional growth of the student through mentorship, professional development training, participation in conferences in their field, and more.
