Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship
NOAA’s Hands-on education, managed by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, provides financial support for students pursuing advanced studies in marine science to undertake research projects in our national marine sanctuaries. With its emphasis on outstanding scholarship and independent graduate-level research — particularly by female and minority students — this prestigious scholarship helps train the next generation of ocean scientists. Here are some of the current and previous Dr. Nancy Foster scholars.
