Keep in Mind

Georgia Sea Grant is your first contact

Georgia has its own Sea Grant program based at the University of Georgia. Contact Georgia Sea Grant before applying nationally — they administer state-level grants and can guide you to the right funding track for your program.

Coastal Georgia schools have a significant advantage

Sea Grant funding strongly favors programs near Georgia's coast (Savannah, Brunswick, Golden Isles area) and major waterways. Inland schools can participate but should partner with coastal organizations.
