UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
The goal
of the Undergraduate
Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is to increase the number
of undergraduates pursuing marine science careers by encouraging
and supporting specific undergraduate research activities. Students
propose, carry out, and report results of a research project related
to an existing project funded by Sea Grant. UROP, begun in 1992,
has funded undergraduate research for more than 50 students at
Louisiana State University.

The Ernest
F. Hollings Scholarship program is designed to: (1) increase
undergraduate training in oceanic and atmospheric science, research,
technology, and education and foster multidisciplinary training
opportunities; (2) increase public understanding and support for
stewardship of the ocean and atmosphere and improve environmental
literacy; (3) recruit and prepare students for public service
careers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
and other natural resource and science agencies at the federal,
state and local levels of government; and (4) recruit and prepare
students for careers as teachers and educators in oceanic and
atmospheric science and to improve scientific and environmental
education in the United States. Eligible undergraduates studying
biological, life, and agricultural sciences; physical sciences;
mathematics; engineering; computer and information sciences; social
and behavioral science; and teacher education are encouraged to
apply.
