What does a Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship award include?

 

 

The Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship Program provides selected undergraduate applicants with a scholarship award (up to a maximum of $8,000) for two academic years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time internship ($650/week) during the summer at a NOAA facility.  The internship is conducted between the first and second years of the award, and provides a “hands-on” multidisciplinary educational and training experience involving student scholars in NOAA-related science, research, technology, policy, management, and education activities. Awards also include a mandatory NOAA orientation during the last week of May in the first year of the scholarship award; a housing subsidy for student scholars who do not reside at home during the summer internship; round-trip travel to the internship site including reimbursement for incidentals; travel funds for attendance and participation at a Hollings Scholarship program conference at the completion of the internship; and, one professional conference to present the results of their summer project.
