To support your efforts to recruit as broad of an applicant pool as possible, we’ve developed several resources and tips that we hope you’ll utilize. Sea Grant communicators and others who promote the Knauss Fellowship across the Sea Grant programs are encouraged to review the Knauss recruitment best practices document and develop your own plan for promoting the opportunity.

You may provide potential applicants with general guidance and support. This includes how to apply and what should be included in the application materials. Whatever level of guidance and support you provide to one applicant, you must be able to provide to all.

Additional support, such as copy editing, should not be done by anyone in the State selection process or the State Sea Grant chain of command. The NSGO encourages students to interact with current and former fellows. 

Once the application deadline has passed, no changes may be made to the students’ materials.
