The Hollings Scholarship Program provides selected undergraduate 
applicants with awards that include academic assistance (up to a maximum 
of $8,000) for full-time study during the 9-month academic year; a 
10-week, full-time internship position ($650/week) during the summer at a 
NOAA or partner facility; and, if reappointed, academic assistance (up to 
a maximum of $8,000) for full-time study during a second 9-month academic 
year. The internship between first and second years of the award provides 
``hands-on'' multi-disciplinary educational training experience involving 
scholars in NOAA-related scientific, research, technological, policy, 
management, and education activities. Awards also include a housing 
subsidy for scholars who do not reside at home during the summer 
internship and travel expenses for attendance and participation at a 
Hollings scholarship orientation program, conference travel, and an end of 
summer internship presentation program. The program priorities for this 
opportunity support NOAA's mission support goal of Critical Support -- 
Facilities, ships, aircraft, environmental satellites, data-processing 
systems, computing and communications systems.
