graduate program at a Massachusetts-based institution. Applicants will be notified in early January of Fellowship review decisions. In order to be eligible to receive this fellowship, students must be enrolled in a thesis-granting master's or doctoral graduate
program in Massachusetts no later than fall 2024. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Montserrat;color:black">It is anticipated that two (2) two-year Graduate Student Fellowships will be awarded, with a maximum Sea Grant support of $40,000/year for stipend and tuition costs and $2,000/year for professional
development, such as conference travel or attendance fees, trainings, and/or workshops, and research and supply costs for a total of $84,000 for each Fellow over the two year period. Prospective advisors are expected to provide the necessary equipment, resources,
and support for the Fellows to engage in their research project throughout the duration of the Fellowship.
<strong><span style="font-family:Montserrat">Fellowships will require a match of $1 of non-federal funds for every $2 of federal Sea Grant funds requested</span></strong>. Awarding of this Fellowship is dependent on Federal appropriations and funding availability.
