| The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is honored to announce the Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program to recognize outstanding scholarship and encourage independent graduate-level research--particularly by female and minority students--in oceanography, marine biology and maritime archaeology.
Congress authorized the Program, as described in the National Marine Sanctuaries Amendments Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-513), soon after Dr. Foster’s death in June 2000, as a means of honoring her life’s work and contribution to the nation. The program is administered through NOAA’s National Ocean Service and funded annually with 1% of the amount appropriated each fiscal year to carry out the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. |
