Three major NOAA-relevant professional scientific conferences are held annually between December and the end of February. These conferences present an excellent opportunity for Scholars to learn from professionals in their field, get feedback on their research, and network. As part of the Hollings Scholarship Program, Scholars can apply for funding to present their research at up to two US scientific conferences. This year, a record number of Hollings Undergraduate Scholars took advantage of the opportunity to present the research they conducted during their summer internship with NOAA.
