Recipients will receive up to $8,000 in order to assist them with tuition and living expenses each year they receive the Scholarship, as well as be employed at a NOAA facility during the summer break after their first scholarship year.  Applicants should already be majoring in a discipline related or applicable to oceanic and atmospheric sciences and/or environmental stewardship (including the Biological, Social and Physical Sciences, Computer and Informational Sciences, Education, and Engineering).
