Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2012 EPA Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study is a discretionary fellowship opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designed to support bachelor-level students pursuing environmental fields of study. Offered under the EPA GRO Fellowships program (CFDA 66.513), the program is aimed at helping promising undergraduates build a stronger foundation in environmental research and professional practice while they complete the last two years of their degree.
The EPA planned to make about 40 new fellowship awards (subject to funding availability and other considerations) with anticipated awards issued by July 30, 2012. The estimated total program funding listed for this competition was $1,956,000. Individual awards were described with an award ceiling of $48,900, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not expected to contribute matching funds to receive support.
For students selected, the fellowship was structured to cover both the junior and senior academic years, along with a paid internship at an EPA facility during the summer after the junior year. Financially, the fellowship provided up to $19,700 per academic year to support the student during each of the two academic years. In addition, it provided $9,500 in support for a three-month summer internship, intended to give the fellow hands-on experience in an EPA work environment and exposure to real-world environmental projects and research.
Applications were due on December 12, 2011, with different cutoffs depending on the submission method. Paper applications needed to be received by 4:00 PM Eastern Time, while electronic applications submitted through Grants.gov were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the same date.
