Application Workshop Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the OSG Application Workshops is for students to learn more about all Sea Grant opportunities (including mentoring and professional development), get advice and tips on application materials, and hear from recent scholars and fellows about their experiences in the program. For those interested, there will also be time to work on application materials in breakout groups with Oregon Sea Grant representatives and current scholars. In this second year of the workshop series, sessions are conducted virtually on Zoom.
Oregon Sea Grant Scholar Program’s Commitment to Inclusive Recruitment
The Oregon Sea Grant Scholars Program remains focused on broadening participation and diversity by restructuring our recruitment and review processes to be more equitable. We intend to be more inclusive of applicants from various cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds with unique lived experiences, skills, abilities and interests, including applicants who may have had fewer opportunities in the marine or coastal fields. In support of this effort, this page offers a sample of the available resources that may help navigate the application process for OSG and other fellowship and scholarship opportunities.
