Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Academic Year EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary EPA funding opportunity designed to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields. Offered through the EPA's GRO program, the fellowship is aimed at undergraduates entering their junior and senior years and combines academic-year financial support with a paid summer internship at an EPA facility. A notable program detail is that some fellowship activities may involve the collection of geospatial information, meaning students could potentially work with mapping, location-based datasets, or related spatial analysis depending on their project and placement.
The EPA planned to make about 30 new fellowship awards (subject to funding availability), with anticipated awards by July 30, 2010. The estimated total funding for the competition was about $1,395,000. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $46,500, which aligns with the structure of support across two academic years plus the internship component.
Financially, the fellowship provides up to $19,250 per year in academic support for the junior and senior years. In addition, it offers up to $8,000 to support a three-month summer internship that takes place between the junior and senior years at an EPA facility. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not expected to bring additional funds to qualify.
Applications were due on December 10, 2009, with separate cutoffs depending on submission method: paper applications had to be received by 4:00 PM, and electronic applications submitted through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time.

The funding opportunity number is EPA-F-2009U-GRO-P4, and it is associated with CFDA number 66.513 (Greater Research Opportunities Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study).
