Opportunity Summary:
The Fall 2013 EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency discretionary funding opportunity designed to support graduate students pursuing advanced study in environmental fields. Through the STAR program, EPA planned to make roughly 80 new fellowship awards, with selections anticipated in the late summer of 2013, assuming funds were available and other agency considerations were met. The program is listed under CFDA 66.514 (Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowship Program) and was posted on October 5, 2012.
This opportunity funds graduate-level training at both the masters and doctoral levels. Masters students can receive support for up to two years, while doctoral students can receive up to three years of support that may be used across a five-year window, offering some flexibility for students whose programs include fieldwork, internships, or other extended research timelines. Each fellowship can provide up to $42,000 per year, and the stated award ceiling is $126,000, which aligns with the maximum three-year doctoral support level. The estimated total funding for the competition was $3.4 million, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
