About this Fellowship

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hollings Preparation Program aims to prepare undergraduate freshmen to be competitive applicants for the full NOAA Hollings scholarship in their sophomore year. The HPP will pair scholars with NOAA mentors for 4-6 weeks over the summer to complete an in-person or remote office, field, or lab project. Students receive a $500 scholarship and $4,000 stipend, training and career development, and assistance in applying for the full Hollings Scholarship. Applicants' academic and career goals should align with NOAA, and students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should send a cover letter and resume to hollingsprep.wcr@noaa.gov.
