Maritime Systems Master's Degree Fellowship Program

Stevens Institute of Technology in collaboration with CSR has recently been awarded a second DHS Career Development Grant.  The 2011 DHS Career Development Grant will provide for full-tuition support and generous monthly stipends for three full-time students entering the Maritime Systems Master's degree program during the spring or summer 2012 academic semesters.
 
The objective of the fellowship program is to enhance the knowledge base, technical skills, and leadership capabilities of our nation's future maritime security workforce and to provide greater access and support for U.S. students pursuing a homeland security focused Master's Degree in Maritime Systems. This fellowship program  will create enhanced experiential opportunities and direct pathways for highly skilled students to obtain technical leadership positions in the maritime security domain.
