Through this fellowship, students will have an array of research foci from which to choose. They will co-design projects using concepts learned from their mentors as well as a seminar, field trips, and workshops in indigenous knowledge, applied aquaculture science, science communications, and STEM concepts. Students will live at the University of Maine in Orono for 10 weeks and will participate in a virtual seminar. A stipend and room and board will be included.

We invite students and faculty to learn more about the Aquaculture Experiential Opportunities for Undergraduate Students (AquEOUS) Fellowship and apply by January 31st (note: application date has been extended). Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested in this unique program.
