Meet the Scholars
Current and recent Scholars
Today's graduate and undergraduate students are tomorrow's scientists, resource managers and marine policy makers. On the voyage to their futures, many seek both enriching experiences and financial support. We are happy to help.
In its 40-year history, Oregon Sea Grant has provided mentoring, training, hands-on educational experience - and funding - to thousands of students in marine science-related fields. The experience we offer takes the form of graduate and undergraduate research assistantships, special research and public policy scholarships, and fellowships and internships in Oregon and in Washington, D.C.
