A Work-Ready Training Program

 

The Summer Scholars Program is a PAID 10-week program that places undergraduate students from around the country with a variety of Oregon-based host organizations (tribal, public agency, non-profit, non-governmental). It provides a diversity of students with hands-on experience under the mentorship of a career professional. Scholars can assist host agencies with field work, lab work, analysis, research, policy development, and outreach and public engagement efforts.

The goal of the OSG Summer Scholars Program is to contribute to a diverse ocean workforce that understands technical and social challenges facing coastal communities and the natural environment. In addition, the program helps prepare undergraduate students for graduate school and careers in marine science, policy, management and outreach.
