Juniata college does not offer this major but they have had several Hollings winners, and relevant coursework. They also have a lakeside environmental center where you can spend a semester.

Your child should DEFINITELY apply for this scholarship his freshman year of college.

It is competitive but represents SUCH an amazing opportunity: the kids get a paid research internship at a NOAA office of their choosing, travel to two conferences to present their research the following year and partial college scholarships junior and senior year of college. It is a really wonderful program.


Sorry, I am correcting my earlier post. You can only apply for a Hollings scholarship your sophomore year of college.

I can personally vouch for the Marine Biology program at URI. It’s a really good option for undergrads with lots of research opportunities and good faculty invested in under grads.

And no, marine bio isn’t for rich people. It’s for curious people who want to do meaningful work. You can make a perfectly fine living - meaning salary along the lines of feds, professors, or science teachers.

Maybe also look at the University of Victoria in Canada.

A trust fund kid could afford to have one of those jobs. I’m guessing that’s why pp said it’s a rich kid major—not a lot of job opportunities for those who have to support themselves.

The ones working for NOAA are not rich, given Civil Service/NOAA Corps salaries, but they also are not broke. NOAA Corps is unheralded, but would be a great option for folks who want to work in that field.

University of Delaware has a great program. https://www.udel.edu/academics/colleges/ceoe/prospective-students/student-experience/
Opportunity for research and the graduate program is in Lewes, DE.

Also look at UConn Avery Point https://averypoint.uconn.edu/academics/undergraduate/marine-sciences/

Not everyone wants to be a computer science major.

Washington College might be one more to add to list.

+1. Original list was about right, but I would add UH Manoa to that list.

Also, the NOAA Corps is unheralded, and very small, but wonderful.

St Mary’s College of Maryland and Coastal Carolina should be on the list. VIMS at W&M is very well-regarded.
