[SEMCO] Knauss Fellowship Opportunity

[Sheri D. Derosa]

WHOI Sea Grant is accepting applications for the Dean John A. Knauss
Marine Policy Fellowship program. This one-year program is open to any
student who, on May 1, 2001, is in a graduate or professional program in
a marine or aquatic- related field at a U.S. accredited institution of
higher education.

Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship was established in 1979 to
provide a unique educational experience to students who have an interest
in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy
decisions affecting those resources. The program, which is sponsored by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National
Sea Grant College Program, matches highly qualified graduate students
with "hosts" in the legislative branch, executive branch, or appropriate
associations/ institutions located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a
one year paid fellowship. The program is named in honor of one of Sea
Grant's founders, former NOAA Administrator, John A. Knauss.  Additional
information on the fellowship can be found at:

Completed applications must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 10, 2001, to:
