Sea Grant Community Engaged Undergraduate Internship
Alaska Sea Grant will be accepting applications for the summer 2024 internship program beginning in January. If you have any questions, please reach out to CEI coordinator Davin Holen.
Sea Grant, a network of 34 programs across the United States, is accepting applications for paid summer internships for undergraduate students from indigenous or underrepresented communities who are pursuing careers in marine policy, marine science, science communication or other STEM-related field. The interns will work under the supervision of Sea Grant mentors or scientists working on Sea Grant-funded projects. They will gain job experience as they support Sea Grant’s work to enhance the sustainable use and conservation of marine, coastal and watershed resources. The intern may be based at a Sea Grant office or at a partner organization. Sea Grant’s community-engaged internship will last for 10–weeks during the summer, working 40 hours a week.
Award and eligibility
Selected students will be awarded a $7,500 stipend for full-time work. Any undergraduate college student who will have completed the equivalent of one semester of full-time study by the conclusion of the spring semester and who will be enrolled in any accredited U.S. college or university in the fall of may apply. Students who will have graduated with an undergraduate degree from an accredited U.S. college or university during an academic year are eligible for the internship that following summer.

TRADITIONAL AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Sea Grant took part in a visioning exercise to improve how it supports coastal communities and economies. Sea Grant’s mission is to help citizens better understand, conserve and utilize America’s coastal resources. The purpose of the exercise was to look closely at 10 priority topic areas and set goals, outcomes and best practices over the next decade.
One such topic is traditional and local knowledge (TLK) and how to maximize its inclusion in Sea Grant’s work. The goal is to include indigenous partners and TLK in as much of Sea Grant’s research, outreach and extension as possible.
