To every educator who has brought the Great Lakes into their classroom, thank you. 🍎
Your curiosity is contagious. Your lessons last. And the students who learn to love these waters? They’ll protect them.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at IISG.
Trash talk + trivia + Great Lakes science at a brewery on Earth Day.

Located in Washington, D.C., the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources, and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. This is a one-year fellowship open to any student, regardless of citizenship, who is enrolled toward a degree in a graduate or professional program on the day of the deadline.
Students enrolled at an Illinois or Indiana university or college should submit their applications through Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant by emailing Angela Archer at amcbride@purdue.edu. Students in surrounding states without a Sea Grant program should contact the National Sea Grant College Program at oar.sg.fellows@noaa.gov for a referral.
Application deadline: June 3, 2026.
