Can the NOAA mentor pay for the student scholars travel to NOAA field sites and/or conferences?
Yes. If funds are available, NOAA mentor’s may travel their student scholar to NOAA field sites, conferences and meetings that would enhance the student scholar’s summer internship experience and add value to their project. The Hollings Scholarship has funds to support the travel for the student scholar to one conference during their term in the scholarship. NOAA mentors are encouraged to work with their student scholar to submit an abstract to a professional conference where the student scholar presents the results of their summer internship.
