The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering GRO Graduate Fellowships for master’s and doctoral level students in environmentally related fields of study. The deadline for receipt of pre-applications is January 6, 2004. Subject to availability of funding, the Agency plans to award approximately 20 new fellowships by July 23, 2004. Master's level students may receive support for a maximum of two years. Doctoral students may be supported for a maximum of three years, usable over a period of four years. A Fellow may reserve any year over the four-year period to use an alternative means of support or to engage in activities other than graduate study. The fellowship program provides up to $37,000 per year of support. This amount covers a monthly stipend of $1,667 for up to 12 months totaling $20,000 for the year, $5,000 for authorized expenses, and up to $12,000 for tuition and fees. 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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE GRO [Formerly Minority Academic Institutions (MAI)] FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The EPA invites pre-applications for graduate fellowships in academic disciplines relating to environmental research including engineering, and the physical, natural, life, and social sciences. A pre-application provides the information needed by EPA to review the applicant’s merit. Following the merit review, top-rated applicants will be required to submit a brief formal application.
These fellowships are intended to help defray costs associated with advanced environmentally oriented study leading to a master's or doctoral degree. Instructions for completing and submitting pre-applications are found in the sections that follow. Instructions must be followed exactly or the submission will not be reviewed.
Purpose of the Program
This program was initiated to strengthen the environmental research capacity of institutions of higher education that receive limited funding to build such capacity, including in particular institutions with substantial minority enrollment. The program provides quality environmental education to graduate students, by encouraging them to pursue careers in environmentally related fields. This goal is consistent with the mission of EPA, which is to provide leadership in the nation's environmental science, research, education, assessment, restoration, and preservation efforts. This program will benefit both the public and private sectors which will need a steady stream of well-trained and culturally diverse environmental specialists if our society is to meet the environmental challenges of the future.
Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or possessions, or be lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Resident aliens must include their green card number in their pre-application. EPA may choose to verify this number with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Students must attend eligible institutions
Students do not need to be enrolled in or formally accepted in a full-time graduate program at the time they apply for a fellowship, but proof of enrollment or acceptance must be produced prior to the award of the fellowship. Students must be pursuing a master’s degree or doctoral degree in an environmentally related field of specialization (see fields of specialization below).
Students must attend fully accredited four-year U.S. institutions of higher education that are not highly funded for development of environmental research capacity. For purposes of this solicitation, EPA considers such institutions to be those listed in the National Science Foundation’s report “Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions: Fiscal Year 2001,” Table B-15 (http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/nsf03326/pdf/fssb15.pdf ). Students at institutions receiving $50 million or less in annual federal research and development funding, as designated in column 2 of Table B-15 are eligible. The report can be found at http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/nsf03326/start.htm
Students at schools that have substantial minority enrollment are particularly encouraged to apply. Examples of such schools are those that the U.S. Department of Education lists as “Accredited Postsecondary Minority Institutions” on its web site listed below, consistent with Executive Orders 13125 (Increasing Participation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders), 13230 (Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans), 13256 (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), and 13270 (Tribal Colleges and Universities), which encourage building of the capacity of minority serving institutions to provide high quality education.
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html
(Note that of the schools on this list, only those that are four-year baccaluareate-granting institutions with graduate degree programs in one or more eligible academic fields are eligible to participate in this fellowship program.)
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the school is eligible before submitting a pre-application.
Students who have completed more than one year in the master's program or four years in the doctoral program are not eligible. Students enrolled in a master's program, however, may apply for a doctoral fellowship.
Employees of the U.S. government must be able to prove separation from Federal service before accepting this fellowship.
Acceptance of this fellowship does not necessarily preclude acceptance of other scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or grant aid. However, this fellowship may not be awarded to anyone who will simultaneously be receiving other federal assistance.
Tenure
The term of a graduate fellowship is negotiated with the students and customarily covers a period of 9 to 12 months for each fellowship year. Students seeking a master's degree may be supported for a maximum of two years. Students seeking doctoral degrees may receive support for a maximum of three years, available over a four-year period.
The fellowship provides up to $37,000 per year of support. A maximum of $74,000 will be provided for master's fellows (two years) and up to $111,000 (three years) will be provided to doctoral students. The $37,000 annual support covers stipend, tuition, and expenses as follows:
Stipends: For the 2004-2005 academic year, these will be $20,000 for 12-month tenures, and prorated monthly at a maximum of $1,667 for shorter periods. Funds for unused months are forfeited. Stipends are paid directly to the Fellow. At its discretion, each fellowship institution may supplement a Fellow's stipend from institutional funds in accordance with the supplementation policy of the institution.
Tuition and Academic Fees: Up to $12,000 per year will be paid directly to the institution. For the purposes of this fellowship, health insurance is not considered to be an academic fee. Health insurance costs may, however, be paid from the expense budget.
Expense Allowance: Up to $5,000 will be provided to pay for items and activities for the direct benefit of the student's education and research, such as for health insurance, books, supplies, data analysis, publication cost, equipment, (e.g., computers) travel to technical and scientific meetings, and domestic and international travel required to conduct the proposed research. Specific instructions regarding the disbursement and management of the expense allowance will be provided during the award process.
EPA Fellowship Conference
If requested, Fellows are expected to attend the EPA GRO Graduate Fellows Conferences as long as they are in the program, unless the immediate needs of their research project make attendance impractical. Resources to support this travel are to be taken from the expense allowance.
International Activities
The Fellows’ proposed research may be conducted outside the United States. However, EPA allows only $5,000 for all expenses, including travel. See "Stipends and Allowances" for details. If at any time during the research project, it becomes necessary for you to work outside the United States and its territories, you must notify your Project Officer who will obtain the necessary EPA and State Department approval before you can use fellowship funds to conduct these activities. In addition, for travel to international meetings, approval must be obtained from the EPA project officer. Fellows who travel overseas will be required to comply with all provisions of the Fly America Act.

If any institution you attended had a grading system different from the traditional "A, B, C" system, explain the system in a succinct footnote to Item 14. Do not leave anything out. Include data from your entire college career. DO NOT INCLUDE COPIES OF YOUR TRANSCRIPTS. Top-ranked applicants will be required to submit official copies of transcripts for validation prior to the award of the fellowship.
Letters of Recommendation
Each application package MUST include three (3) reference letters, written in English, from individuals who have knowledge of your academic record. If you have a sponsor or advisor in the program, one of these letters should come from that individual. Letters of recommendation are critical components of the pre-application. Select your references carefully and urge them to write unique letters specifically about you. Do not write the letters yourself. Letters that appear to be mass produced will not be ranked highly by the reviewers. At a minimum, the letters should address your academic performance and potential, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and motivation in your chosen field. It is always useful if the writer also conveys a sense of who you are as an individual. EPA is bound by regulation to require three (3) letters. If the pre-application does not include three letters, it will not be reviewed. The original and six (6) copies of each required letter must be contained in an individual envelope sealed by the writer and must be included in the pre-application package. We will not accept reference letters sent separately.
Self-addressed and Stamped Postcard
Include a postcard in your package so that we can notify you that your pre-application was received. If your postcard with the identifying application number is not returned within 30 days of the announcement deadline, you MUST call 1-800-490-9194 to verify that your package was received. If you do not include the postcard, you will not be notified that we received your package.
All pre-applications must be submitted in the exact format described. All necessary information is provided in the instructions. To illustrate the instructions, a sample pre-application appears at the end of this announcement.
Pre-applications must include the original and six (6) copies of each letter of reference enclosed in three individually sealed envelopes, as described above.
EVALUATION AND SELECTION PROCESS
The pre-applications and letters of recommendation will be reviewed by non-EPA experts from the appropriate fields of study. Students applying for fellowships must select a single Sorting Code from the list provided. Reviewers are recruited based on the specialty fields identified in the pre-applications.
Students at each educational level will be evaluated on his or her potential for success in a graduate study program, based on the information provided in the pre-application as described above under “Mandatory Format for Pre-Applications.” The reviewers will consider academic records, letters of recommendation, and career goals and objectives.
Reviewers will recommend the best applicants from each of the four (4) educational level categories. Finalists will be selected for award of a fellowship based on the availability of funds, reviewers' evaluations, and program goals, such as distribution of awards across disciplines, institutions and geography, degree level being sought, and other possible indicators of program balance. Only finalists will be required to submit the following:
1. EPA Form 5770-2, "Fellowship Application”;
2. EPA Form 5700-49, "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters*"
*Forms are available on the NCER homepage (https://www.epa.gov/research-fellowships/)

The pages that follow constitute a sample pre-application for graduate fellowships.
NOTE!!!! Smart as he is, this hypothetical student probably would NOT receive an EPA fellowship because his curriculum has no obvious relationship to environmental concerns or the disciplinary degree he is seeking. His only chance would be if his narrative statement clearly made that connection. The purpose of this sample is to demonstrate format, not content.
