Need Based Stipend
Need Based Stipend
Mote Marine Laboratory offers need-based stipend funds for Mote College Internship Program participants with financial needs. These stipends are intended to provide partial support for living expenses for a full-time, 10 week or longer internship. The amount of each stipend will vary according to intern financial need, internship duration and the number of recipients. Stipend recipients may be asked to produce a short thank you letter and/or a report summarizing their training and accomplishments.
Eligibility
Stipends are available to interns participating in all unpaid Mote College Internship Programs (participants of research internships that include stipends such as NSF, Mote REU, and MarSci-LACE Programs are NOT eligible). Stipends are limited, and students must exhibit a strong financial need to be considered for these awards. In addition to financial need, the stipend selection committee also bases its decisions on the applicant's experience, career goals and placement in a specific Mote program. Interns from minority groups under-represented in science are encouraged to apply to promote diversity in the marine sciences. Only U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents— candidates having a U.S. Social Security Number—are eligible to apply.

The internship between the first and second years of the award provides the scholars with hands-on, practical experience in NOAA-related science, research, technology, policy, management, and education activities.
