The Lobster Institute is fortunate to have many long-term and new supporters. The following are a few of the ways your organization can support Lobster Institute research and events.
Event sponsorships are a helpful way to support the Institute.
We host several events throughout the year, each providing an opportunity for support.
Event sponsorships range from $1,000 to $5,000 and provide corresponding inclusion levels in conference materials, pre-and post-event press releases, and complimentary event registration fees.
Support a graduate student for a full or ½ year research fellowship:
A fellowship supports a student whose graduate research aligns with the Lobster Institute’s mission.
A full year of support totals $35,000 ($17,500 for ½) and includes:
A stipend of $21,333 · Tuition for up to 19 credits · Health Insurance
You might also consider supporting an undergraduate student internship.
A summer internship costs $8,000, which includes a 12- week stipend and room and board.
Our Semester by the Sea internships cost $10,000, which includes tuition and room and board.

* While based at the University of Maine, the Lobster Institute receives only partial financial support from the University. We must raise a portion of salaries and all of our operating, research, and programming dollars. We truly appreciate the support of our partners that keep our doors open and make our work possible.
