Natural Resource Policy at the State Level
This fellowship is intended to give a student first-hand experience in natural resource policy at the state level. In so doing, the student will contribute to policies that will benefit natural resource managers, stakeholders, and user groups. The Natural Resource Policy Fellowship will place up to three graduate student fellows in an Oregon state agency or nonprofit for one year. Starting dates will depend on the needs of the student and host office.
Fellowship Award
The length of assignment is one year and is nonrenewable. The fellowship will pay up to $42,000 for the year, in monthly stipend payments. The stipend will provide you with up to $3,500 per month to cover expenses during your full-time fellowship, which may include fellowship-related professional development, educational supplies, health insurance, and travel expenses. Open to graduate students and recent graduates with interest and experience in coastal policy from any U.S. university or college (preference will be given to eligible applicants from a college or university with a physical campus located in Oregon).
