NOAA Graduate Fellowships

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's page provides information about fellowship opportunities for graduate students and recent recipients of master's, professional or doctoral degrees interested in coastal, marine, and environmental management or research.

McKnight Doctoral Fellowships

Established in 1984, FEF's McKnight Doctoral Fellowship Program has awarded more than 1200 Fellowships and increased the number of African Americans and Hispanics who have earned Ph.D.'s in crucial disciplines where members of underrepresented groups have not historically enrolled and completed degree programs.

Margaret A. Davidson Fellowship

This fellowship honors the legacy of NOAA’s Margaret A. Davidson. Margaret was a true visionary in the coastal management world, someone who saw the future with clarity and knew how to push for innovation and, frankly—shake things up. She defined excellence in many categories, always raising the bar with the goal of helping coastal communities thrive.

Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship

The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The Fellowship, named after one of Sea Grant's founders and former NOAA Administrator John A. Knauss, 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.

Graduate Research Fellowship Program

The NSF GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions. The five-year fellowship includes three years of financial support including an annual stipend of $34,000 and a cost of education allowance of $12,000 to the institution.
