[Jennie Rheuban]

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant (WHOISG) and 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sea Grant (MITSG) are pleased to 
jointly invite qualified individuals to apply for the /Massachusetts Sea 
Grant Graduate Research Fellowship/. The purpose of this Fellowship is 
to support exceptional prospective graduate students who are engaged in 
coastal and marine research that furthers the goals of WHOISG and MITSG.

*Eligibility
*This Fellowship is geared towards providing funding and support for 
students who have not yet matriculated into a graduate program but are 
applying and intend to enroll in a thesis-granting 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.

*Funding*

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. *Fellowships will require a match of $1 of non-federal funds
