The Innovation Fund provides much-needed unrestricted support for Marine and Coastal Opportunities (MACO).Help MACO programs and OSU students by giving to the Innovation Fund at Oregon State University Foundation. Originally established by the Marine Studies Initiative, this Innovation Fund continues to benefit MACO's continuing and new programs.

The funds are critically important for our program growth and development. These funds allow for important strategic planning opportunities, provide faculty and undergraduate research opportunities, and provide flexibility for MACO to take advantage of emerging opportunities. 

Along Oregon’s coastline, students have access to the university's facilities such as the Hatfield Marine Science Center campus, and the Port Orford Field Station. These coastal facilities provide students with environments that encourage creative collaboration that have lifelong meaningful impacts. The Marine Studies Innovation Fund supports student learning opportunities at the coast such as; 

  • Experiential hands-on learning opportunities 
  • Scholarships for marine-related degrees 
  • Unique research and internship opportunities 
  • Housing support to live at the coast while studying
