2006 Marine Immersion Opportunities

A Scholarship Program from COSEE Great Lakes

In addition to its own sponsored workshops, COSEE Great Lakes has scholarship funds to assist some Great Lakes area teachers in learning about the oceans through experiences sponsored by regional institutions. The ocean education can occur on the Great Lakes or “salty” coastlines. For 2006, teachers may apply for a COSEE scholarship to one of these programs. Scholarship award is contingent upon acceptance into the program of choice. Check each program for its application deadlines!

Like other COSEE Great Lakes funding, our support is limited to teacher of grades 4-10 and informal educators. Application should be made to the selected program on the list below, then a copy sent to Steve Stewart (stew@msu.edu) along with the Immersion application. It is possible to apply for more than one marine experience, but only one Marine Immersion scholarship will be awarded to a teacher. We expect to award 20 scholarships in 2006. 2007 events to be announced.
