ORISE Distributes NOAA Hollings Scholarships to Oceanic & Atmospheric Science Undergrads

Oak Ridge, Tenn.One hundred and one Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarships were recently awarded, at up to $8,000 each, to full-time junior and senior students for the 2006-2007 academic year. The program is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education on behalf of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The undergraduate scholarships, awarded in honor of Senator Hollings (South Carolina-D), who championed the creation of the NOAA and was among the most vocal of ocean advocates during his 36 years in Congress, are awarded annually to accredited college or university students interested in oceanic and atmospheric science, research, technology and education.

The purpose of the Hollings scholarship program is to increase public understanding and recruit and prepare students for public service careers or careers as teachers and educators in oceanic and atmospheric science.

Students are required to participate in a 10-week summer internship and attend the Hollings Scholarship Program conference at the completion of the internship.

The award recipients, representing 37 states including Alaska and Hawaii, are as follows:
