Inhofe Proposes Weather Service Scholarships

Senator Jim Inhofe today introduced legislation creating a Science and Technology Scholarship Program to recruit and prepare students for careers in the National Weather Service and in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) marine research, atmospheric research, and satellite programs. The “NOAA Scholarship Act of 2007” requires that recipients of the scholarship work for a branch of NOAA, including the National Weather Service, upon graduation for 24 months in return for each academic year that a scholarship is given.
