Sea Grant is, after all, a partnership, and often nonfederal matching funds will be essential for the successful undertaking of a proposed effort. Note that it is important to specify match contributions carefully to be able to demonstrate sources and amounts. No funds from federal agencies can be used as match. Please contact the Maryland Sea Grant office if any questions arise about the eligibility of matching funds. Student Support Maryland Sea Grant offers support for graduate students working on Sea Grant-funded projects.
Fellowships provide a stipend, tuition remission, and other benefits.
Starting in 2001, Fellows will be required to participate in several activities designed to help develop an understanding of the link between science and outreach. These activities will not deflect from the primary research focus of the fellowship, rather they are designed to enhance it in a meaningful way. Funds for Sea Grant Fellows Research are taken from a separate budget. Please note that funds for these students are limited, and not every Sea Grant-supported effort can be awarded a Fellow. PIs also have the option of including student support as a line item in their budgets and must include all associated costs incurred.
