Washington Sea Grant Keystone Fellowship Program

The University of Washington is announcing its Washington Sea Grant Keystone Fellowship Program for the year 2002. The students pursuing or have a degree in a marine-related field, including policy, law, social sciences, oceanography, and fishery sciences and marine-related technical degrees are cordially invited to apply.

The goal of the award is to broaden participation in marine and coastal professions by providing early career experience, training, and mentorship to the next generation of scientists and marine industry professionals. The program will do so by recruiting, retaining, and engaging students who are underrepresented in these fields.

The University of Washington is known as a public research university based in Seattle, Washington, United States. It was founded in 1861 and is also one of the oldest universities on the West Coast. It was established in downtown Seattle approximately a decade after the city’s founding to aid its economic development. The university has additional campuses in Tacoma and Bothell.
