Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2011 EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fellowship opportunity designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced study in environmental fields at the masters or doctoral level. Offered under the EPA STAR program (CFDA 66.514), the fellowship is structured as a grant-funded training award rather than a typical research project grant, with the goal of investing in the next generation of environmental scientists and professionals. The program is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity, with the activity category identified as a fellowship.
For this cycle, the EPA anticipated making about 105 new fellowship awards, depending on the availability of funds, with planned awards to be made by June 30, 2011. The estimated total funding for the competition was approximately $4,500,000. Individual awards could provide up to $42,000 per year in support per fellow, which is the stated award ceiling. The announcement also indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the fellowship.
The duration of support depends on the degree level. Masters students can receive support for up to two years. Doctoral students can receive up to three years of support, and that support can be used over a five-year window, which can help accommodate the typical pace and structure of PhD programs. While the announcement text does not break down how the $42,000 per year is allocated, STAR fellowships generally function as graduate support funding that can cover items such as stipend and other allowable educational or training-related expenses, consistent with the terms of the full solicitation.

Paper applications had 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.
