STIMULATING INTEREST IN CAREERS IN FISHERIES SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Hutton Junior Fisheries Biology Program is designed to stimulate interest in careers in fisheries science and management among groups underrepresented in the fisheries professions, including minorities and women. Students (Grades 10-12) spend 8 weeks in the summer working alongside their mentor who is a fisheries professional in their local community. Maximum Award: Participants receive a $3,000 scholarship paid out in 6 installments over the summer months. Eligibility: all sophomore, junior, and senior high school students regardless of race, creed, or gender. Because the principal goal of the program is to increase diversity within the fisheries professions, preference will be given to qualified women and minority applicants. Deadline is February 15, 2006.
