However, for undergraduates, there is an expectation that the\u00a0Free Application for Federal Student Aid will be completed early and Pell grants obtained so the relevant university&#8217;s Financial Aid Office can determine the amount of aid needed. Funding for the scholarships comes in part from the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Regional Office and Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For further details, contact Sylvia Spalding at info.wpcouncil@noaa.gov\u00a0or phone (808) 522-8220.
