The Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program provides a unique educational
experience to students who have an interest in marine/ocean/Great Lakes
resources and the national policy decisions affecting those resources. It
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 ($45,000 for
stipend and living expenses). An additional $9,000 will be used to cover
mandatory health insurance for fellows, moving expenses, academic
degree-related and fellowship-related travel; and an additional $2,500 is
available for placement week costs.

The full request for application and application guidelines are available on
