Summary: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National
Center for Environmental Research (NCER), invites applications for the
Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships for undergraduate
environmentally related study for bachelor’s level students. The
deadline for receipt of applications is December 10, 2009. Subject to
availability of funding, the Agency plans to award approximately 30
new fellowships by July 30, 2010. The fellowship provides up to
$19,250 per year of academic support and $8,000 for internship support
for a combined total of up to $46,500 over the life of the fellowship.
The GRO program enhances and supports quality environmental education
for undergraduates, and thereby encourages them to continue their
education beyond the baccalaureate level, and pursue careers in
environmentally related fields. The actual amount awarded per year
will vary depending on the amount of tuition and fees and the number
of months the stipend is required. This fellowship is intended to help
defray costs associated with environmentally oriented study leading to
a bachelor’s degree.
