EPA Awards Fellowship to Undergraduate Students
Michigan Ag Connection - 05/27/2016

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced 34 undergraduate students at 28 colleges and universities across the nation to receive a Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowship. The awards help inspire the next generation of environmental scientists and engineers, and provide students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with agency scientists.

"With the help of this funding, undergraduates will be able to explore their passion in environmental science and cultivate their research skills," said Thomas A. Burke, EPA science advisor and deputy assistant administrator of EPA's Office of Research and Development. "These fellows are the next generation of scientists, who will help lead the way in protecting the environment and public health."

The fellowship provides a maximum of $50,000 for up to two years to each student and a summer internship at an EPA facility where students can work alongside EPA's engineers and scientists. These students are pursuing degrees in environmental science and other related fields, including engineering, environmental health, and the physical sciences.

2015 fellowships were awarded to students at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, and Michigan Technological University, Houghton.

Since its inception in 1981, the GRO Fellowship program has awarded more than $13 million in funding to nearly 400 students. More information about the GRO Program: https://www.epa.gov/research-fellowships
