Knauss Fellowship

The Knauss Fellowship is a competitive program that places graduate students interested in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes issues into a year-long internship in the U.S. Congress. Participants gain firsthand experience working on policy and legislative processes related to marine and environmental issues, fostering professional development and enhancing their understanding of how government and science intersect to address these challenges. It’s a unique opportunity for emerging leaders passionate about marine policy to contribute to influential decision-making and build valuable networks in the field.
