Oregon Sea Grant uses eSeaGrant, an online system for submitting fellowship applications. In order to access this system, you must email eseagrant@oregonstate.edu declaring your intent to apply at least one week prior to the application deadline.
The Oregon Sea Grant Scholars Program remains focused on broadening participation, with the intention of being inclusive of all interested and eligible applicants from various backgrounds with unique lived experiences, skills and interests; including applicants that may have had fewer opportunities in the marine policy field.
Applicants can find additional resources and support materials on the ORSG Application Resources page.
Please contact: Stephanie Ichien or Sarah Kolesar with any questions.

We will host an ORSG Fellowship Q&A session on the WCOA fellowship for potential applicants on September 9 at 1PM (Pacific).
