Western Washington University's Shannon Point Marine Center has received nearly $100,000 in grants to support graduate student tuition, according the university.

Two grants from the National Science Foundation provided $91,000, to be available over the next four years to cover tuition costs for students in the university's masters of science program in marine and estuarine studies.

Shannon Point Marine Center is a university program in Anacortes that supports research and education in ocean sciences. In exchange for grant money, students will provide assistance with projects and programs at the center.
