The Field Experiences Support Program is now open for applications for the 2023-24 school year. We are now accepting applications for this program on a rolling basis, but no later than June 30, 2024, 5pm PST.
This program supports currently matriculated CSU undergraduate and graduate students to increase participation in ocean and coastal field experiences by economically challenged students. These funds can be used to support or enhance your participation in a CSU class, a research project led by a CSU faculty member, or a field course at an accredited institution.
Funds must be used to allow you to do something you wouldn't be able to do otherwise or wouldn't be able to do without creating significant financial hardship. Applications from students who already have considerable field experience will be considered, but support for students who have little or no field experience will be prioritized.
Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information: https://www.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/research/coast/funding/Pages/student-funding.aspx#field-experiences.
