FELLOWSHIPS

Leveraging partnerships with NOAA, Delaware's coastal management agencies, and local nonprofits, we offer the support students need to prepare for their future as coastal researchers, managers, and policymakers. Our fellowships span a range of interests and enable students to make a real difference for Delaware's coast while carving out their own path for the future.

2027 John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship

Applications are now being accepted for the 2027 John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, which is sponsored by NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program. The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The program matches highly qualified graduate students with "hosts" in the legislative and executive branches of government located in the Washington, D.C. area for a one year paid fellowship, which is anticipated to begin June 1, 2027.

All interested applicants are encouraged to contact Christian Hauser (hauser@udel.edu), Associate Director of the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, to indicate their interest and discuss the application process.
