UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant offers yearlong education fellowships for recent graduates at the Marine Education Center and Aquarium on Skidaway Island, Georgia. These fellowships, which serve as a bridge experience between college and professional positions, are offered to recent college graduates with a degree in a coastal or education-related disciplines (education, environmental science, marine science, or other natural, physical, or social sciences) or a completed degree with relevant coursework.

Fellows train and work for 50 weeks to gain experience in environmental education, aquarium husbandry, and coastal extension. The education fellowship has three distinct tracks that focus on marine education and outreach, aquarium education and husbandry, and coastal extension. Each track includes teaching pre-k-12 school groups and summer camps, program development and delivery, basic aquarium husbandry duties, organizing and leading the annual Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, and additional but varying responsibilities.
