Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Academic Year EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary EPA fellowship-grant program designed to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields during their junior and senior years. The opportunity is offered under EPA's GRO program (CFDA 66.513) and may involve work that includes collecting geospatial information, which is worth noting for applicants whose projects or internships could touch mapping, GIS, remote sensing, or location-based environmental data.
EPA planned to make about 30 new fellowship awards (assuming funds were available), with award decisions anticipated by July 30, 2010. The estimated total funding across the program was about $1,395,000, and the maximum possible amount per award (award ceiling) was listed as $46,500. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not expected to provide their own matching funds to receive support.
Funding is structured to cover both academic-year support and a required summer internship component. Students selected for the fellowship could receive up to $19,250 per year in academic support for their junior and senior years, plus up to $8,000 to support a three-month summer internship at an EPA facility between the junior and senior years. In practical terms, the fellowship is meant to provide sustained financial backing while also giving students direct professional experience inside the agency through an on-site internship.
The application deadline was December 10, 2009, with different cutoffs depending on how the application was submitted. Paper applications needed to be received by 4:00 PM, while electronic submissions through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. The announcement emphasizes checking the full solicitation (especially Section IV) for detailed submission instructions and exact due date requirements. Eligibility was categorized broadly in the posting as "Others," with the specific rules and applicant qualifications provided in Section III of the full announcement.
