Student Awards

The Marine and Coastal Opportunities (MACO) program, currently transitioning from the Marine Studies Initiative, is pleased to announce the 2024 MACO/MSI Student Awards. These awards recognize and reward OSU undergraduate students who demonstrate outstanding scholarship and pursuits consistent with the transdisciplinary, collaborative, experiential learning and outreach vision and mission of MACO. To advance understanding of the complex social, cultural, historical, and economic nature of the marine environment, preference will be given to students studying these human dimensions of the coasts and ocean.

MACO/MSI Student Awards will be up to $500 per award. Applicants must be a current OSU undergraduate student at the time of the funds being awarded. The application deadline is Sunday, March 31, 2024.
