John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship
*Deadline has passed for 2008
The
Knauss fellowship, established in 1979, provides a unique educational
experience to students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and
Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting
those resources. The program 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. The program is named in honor of one of Sea Grant's founders,
former NOAA Administrator, John A. Knauss. CTSG is now accepting applications
from graduate students for the one-year period due to begin about
February 1, 2009. Not less than 30 applicants will be selected for
the program. Details about the program and how to apply may be found
on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration web page: http://www.seagrant.noaa.gov/knauss/knauss.html.

Grant program receives and administers the cooperative agreement of
$41,500 per student on behalf of each Fellow selected from their program.
Of this amount, the local Sea Grant program provides $33,000 to each
Fellow for stipend and living expenses (per diem). $7,000 will be
used to cover mandatory health insurance for the Fellow and moving
expenses; any remaining funds shall be used for the fellow during
the Fellowship year, first to satisfy academic degree-related activities,
and second for Fellowship-related activities. Finally, up to $1,500
can be used to cover Placement week costs. No indirect costs are allowed
by this program.
