Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a discretionary grant opportunity under its Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) program to support undergraduate students pursuing bachelor-level study in environmental fields. This funding opportunity, titled "2009 Academic Year EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study" (Funding Opportunity Number: EPAF2008UGROP3; CFDA 66.513), is structured as an individual fellowship-style grant designed to help students complete their final two years of undergraduate education while also gaining hands-on experience through an EPA internship.
The program is aimed at students entering their junior year and continuing through their senior year, with financial support covering both academic-year costs and a required summer internship. Selected fellows receive up to $19,250 per year in academic support for each of the junior and senior years, plus up to $8,000 to support a three-month summer internship at an EPA facility that takes place between the junior and senior years. The maximum potential award is listed as $46,500, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning students are not expected to provide institutional or personal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of scale and timing, EPA indicated that, pending the availability of funds, it expected to make about 20 new fellowship awards by July 31, 2009. The total estimated funding for the competition was approximately $930,000. The opportunity was posted on September 5, 2008, and applications followed a pre-application process with a firm deadline: pre-applications had to be received by December 11, 2008 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
