Field School Fellowship
The Field School Fellowship is a collaboration between Field School and the non-profit Field School Foundation that is designed to provide unique, supportive, and innovative training and mentorship to early career marine scientists.
Fellows will receive funding to support a year of training and mentorship with our team on the R/V Garvin in marine science research skills, with a particular focus on building competencies in fieldwork, teaching, and scientific writing and analysis.

Amani will be graduating with a B.S. in Marine Science from Rutgers the State University of New Jersey this coming May. As an undergraduate, she participated in research with the Fluid Locomotion Lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the Sikes Paleoceanography Lab at Rutgers. Amani’s first “up close and personal” experience working with sharks was through Field School’s Intro to Shark Research Skills course, and she loved it so much that she came back to do the Advanced track. After completing her fellowship, Amani hopes to go back to school to complete a PhD focusing on shark functional morphology. She also asks us to report that she can talk all day about her love for Field School and is happy to chat with prospective students (or future prospective fellows) about her experience.
