The Living Oceans Foundation Fellowship will provide up to a $35,000 annual gift to cover legitimate educational and research expenses such as tuition and research field-work expenses. The fellowship recipient will be known as the "Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation Research Fellow." Fellows may receive up to three continuous years of financial support based upon annual competitive reapplication.
