2024 Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Connecticut Sea Grant DEADLINE

CTSG is now accepting applications from graduate students for the one-year period anticipated to begin on February 1, 2024. The program matches highly qualified graduate students with "hosts" in the legislative and executive branches of government located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one-year paid fellowship. Not less than 35 applicants will be selected, of which approximately 17 will be assigned to the Legislative branch.


Each Sea Grant Knauss award will be $68,000 for salary/stipend and personnel expenses as well as additional funding for allowable expenses and office-related travel. Any student, regardless of citizenship, is eligible to submit to this opportunity if the student is enrolled towards a degree in a graduate program at any point between the onset of the 2022 Fall Term and February 16, 2023, and the student has an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The graduate degree will be awarded through an accredited institution of higher education in the United States or U.S. Territories.

Those intending to apply should contact the CTSG Director Dr. Sylvain De Guise at their earliest convenience (and at a minimum one month prior to the due date) to arrange an interview and to receive further application guidance. As completed application packages require a letter of recommendation from the Sea Grant Director, it is important to contact the Director as early as possible in the application process. Contact the National Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program Manager Office at: OAR.SG.Fellows@noaa.gov or by telephone: (204) 507-3712.
