Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary federal fellowship-grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields of study. It is part of the EPA's GRO Fellowships program (CFDA 66.513) and is structured to fund students during key upper-division years of their undergraduate education while also providing hands-on professional experience through an EPA-based internship.
The program is designed to support students through their junior and senior years, with an added summer internship at an EPA facility in between those two academic years. Financial support is substantial for an undergraduate fellowship: the award provides up to $19,700 per academic year for each of the two academic years, plus up to $9,500 to support a three-month summer internship. The listed award ceiling for the opportunity is $48,900, which aligns with the combined maximum across two academic years and the summer internship period. Importantly, the announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the fellowship.
From a funding and scale standpoint, the EPA anticipated (subject to the availability of funds) making about 40 new fellowship awards, with a target award date of July 29, 2011. The estimated total funding available across all awards was $1,956,000. The opportunity was posted on September 15, 2010, and the application closing date was December 9, 2010, with separate submission cutoffs depending on the method used. For paper applications, the deadline was 4:00 PM Eastern Time on December 9, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, the deadline extended to 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date. The announcement also notes that applicants should consult the full solicitation, especially Section IV, for details on submission methods and due dates, and Section III for the specific eligibility requirements, since the eligibility category is listed broadly and clarified within the full text.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a fellowship (with the funding instrument type listed as a grant) and falls under an "Other" funding activity category as specified in the listing, with the explanation indicating its fellowship nature. The archive date for the posting was January 8, 2011. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the EPA provided a contact: Ron Josephson at (202) 343-9643.
