Student Support
The Port Orford Field Station provides grant opportunities to students and researchers seeking support to complete work in Port Orford. Apply for a grant from the Port Orford Field Station Development Fund to bring your research to Port Orford!
After a scenic drive to Oregon’s beautiful south coast, students will find a well-equipped field station overlooking the beach with comfortable accommodations and an ocean aware, curious, and supportive community. There are ample opportunities to collaborate with other students, researchers, and community volunteers. The rocky habitats of the local ocean and coastal ecosystems provide numerous opportunities to carry out novel research, and the emerging awareness of these opportunities promotes rich opportunities to collaborate and engage in transdisciplinary research and science communication.
