Fellowships and Scholarships
Graduate education at WHOI is managed through the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering, a five-year doctoral degree program. Admission is very competitive, and a great academic record helps a lot. Applying for scholarships and recieving funding before starting graduate school is also helpful.
Please read up here and do not hesitate to contact me or the academics program coordinator.
Here are some websites with information on fellowships for graduate students:

For prospective postdocs
WHOI provides amazing postdoctoral scholarship opportunities. If you're interested in postdoc-ing in my group, first step, check out the WHOI Postdoctoral Scholar program or contact me.
Another option is a fellowship from another institution. WHOI strongly supports postdoctoral candidates who come with an external fellowship.
