internships
For more than 30 years the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society (OWUSS) has offered a variety of experience-based internships. Our goal is to foster development of the future leaders of the marine environment. We continue to believe that by investing in special young people, by exposing them to a broad array of activities in the underwater community and giving them opportunities to work with influential people who are leaders in aquatic disciplines, we are investing in the future of our oceans and lakes.
The 2008 OWUSS Summer internships are offered for a 1 to 3 month period and are primarily directed at college undergraduates and graduating seniors. Internship recipients will receive a grant to help fund travel to/from site, room and board, and a stipend to cover living expenses.
For the summer of 2008 the OWUSS expects to announce the awarding of 1 internship in Europe and 5 internships in North America. More internships may be added later, so please check this website periodically for updates. The European Young Photographer Internship, sponsored by Rolex, is awarded based upon a competition at the International Festival of Underwater Film in Antibes, France.
For North America, the application deadline is January 31st, 2008.
