More Hollings Scholarships than any other college in the country
Eckerd students have won more National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarships than any college in the country.
The Hollings Scholarship provides each student with academic assistance (up to $9,500 per year) for two years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time paid ($700/week) internship at a NOAA facility during the summer between the junior and senior year, round-trip travel to the internship site, and travel expenses to the Hollings conference in Silver Spring, Maryland. For application materials, and more information on the program and eligibility requirements, contact the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ernest F. Hollings scholarship program.
