Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support bachelor level students who are pursuing environmental fields of study. Through this fellowship, EPA aims to help promising undergraduates build strong academic and professional foundations in environmental science and related disciplines, while also giving them direct exposure to federal environmental work through an on-site internship.
Applications were due on May 27, 2014, by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time, with the opportunity originally posted on April 11, 2014. The EPA anticipated making about 34 new fellowship awards, depending on available funding and other program considerations. The program is associated with CFDA number 66.513 (Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study) and had an estimated total funding amount of about $1.7 million for the award cycle.
The fellowship package is structured around supporting students at a key point in their undergraduate careers. Selected fellows receive financial support for both their junior and senior academic years, plus an internship at an EPA facility during the summer after the junior year. In terms of dollar amounts, the fellowship provides up to $20,700 per academic year, and an additional $8,600 to support a three-month summer internship. The listing notes an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $0, reflecting the maximum potential value and the administrative minimum, while individual funding is tied to the academic-year and internship support levels described in the announcement.
Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, which generally makes the program more accessible to students who may not have institutional or personal resources to contribute financially. Eligibility is summarized in the listing as “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” with applicants directed to Section III of the official announcement for the specific requirements. In practice, this kind of eligibility language typically indicates the fellowship is awarded directly to individuals (students) rather than to universities or other organizations, with detailed requirements (such as academic standing, field of study, enrollment status, citizenship or residency rules, and other criteria) spelled out in the full solicitation.
For applicants or institutions needing the complete details, the opportunity included an additional information link to the full announcement, and a point of contact for access issues: Todd Peterson at 703-308-7224.
