SoMAS Total Immersion Scholarship

Our summer Total Immersion Scholarship (TIS) at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) allows high school students with financial need and who are potentially interested in degrees in marine sciences, atmospheric sciences or sustainability studies to spend part of the summer experiencing the fantastic opportunities in these fields, through coursework and/or summer research experiences at our Southampton Marine Sciences Center, at the Flax Pond Marine Laboratory or at the main campus. Marine science students study oceanography via boat trips and laboratory studies at the Southampton Marine Station; those interested in sustainability can gain hands-on experience by designing and conducting research in areas such as ecotoxicology, Geographical Information System (GIS) and coastal resilience research and planning; those interested in atmospheric sciences can learn about extreme weather and how it impacts society for Long Island and other regions, through our summer Extreme Weather class, or through individualized summer research opportunities. Your support will go a long way toward showing students that there are highly rewarding career opportunities available through SoMAS degrees!
