NOAA is accepting applications for an undergraduate scholarship program in honor of retired South Carolina Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, who promoted oceanic and atmospheric research throughout his career.

This is the fourth year this scholarship is being made available to students interested in pursuing degrees in ocean and atmospheric sciences and education.

In 2008, the NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Scholarship Program will provide approximately 100 college undergraduates up to $29,050 each for their academic studies related to NOAA science, research, technology, policy, management, and education activities. The program also offers a multi-disciplinary summer internship providing students the opportunity to work with NOAA scientists.

Applications will be accepted through February 8, 2008. Applications for the Hollings Scholarship Program are available on-line at the NOAA web site.

Requests for applications may also be made via e-mail at StudentScholarshipPrograms@noaa.gov, or by telephone 301-713-9437 x150.
