Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a 2009-cycle funding opportunity through its Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) program to support undergraduate students pursuing bachelor-level study in environmental fields. This opportunity is a discretionary grant instrument designed for individuals (with eligibility details defined in the full announcement, especially Section III). The program is meant to invest in students during the final stretch of their undergraduate education by pairing academic-year financial support with a hands-on summer internship at an EPA facility.
The application process uses a pre-application step, with the deadline set for December 11, 2008 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The EPA indicated that, depending on available funding, it expected to make about 20 new fellowship awards, with awards anticipated by July 31, 2009. The overall funding amount listed for the competition is approximately $930,000, and the maximum (ceiling) amount per award is $46,500. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide their own funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
In terms of benefits, the fellowship is structured to support a student through both the junior and senior years. It offers up to $19,250 per year in academic support for those years, and it also includes up to $8,000 in support for a three-month summer internship that takes place between the junior and senior years. The inclusion of the EPA internship is a key feature of the program, as it gives fellows practical experience in a federal environmental workplace while they are still completing their undergraduate degree.
