DESCRIPTION
OF THE MAI PROGRAM
The EPA invites pre-applications for graduate fellowships
in academic disciplines relating to environmental research including
physical, biological, and social sciences and engineering. A pre-application
provides the information needed for a merit review. Following
the review, top ranked 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 the 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
The purpose of the fellowship program is to encourage
promising students to obtain advanced degrees and pursue careers
in environmentally related fields. This goal is consistent
with the mission of EPA, which is to protect human health and to
safeguard the natural environment – air, water, and land –
upon which life depends. This program will benefit both the
public and private sectors, which will need a steady stream of well-trained
environmental specialists if our society is to meet the environmental
challenges of the future.
Eligibility
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 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 attend a fully accredited four-year U.S. Minority Academic Institution.
Minority Academic Institutions are defined as Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges (TCs), Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions (NHSIs), and Alaska Native Serving Institutions (ANSIs). See detailed list at the end of this announcement.
Students must be pursuing a master's or doctoral degree in an environmentally related field of specialization (see fields of specialization below).
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, but seeking funding for a doctoral 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 student 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.
Stipend and Allowances
The fellowship provides up to $34,000 per year of
support. A maximum of $68,000 will be provided for master's fellows
(two years) and up to $102,000 (three years) will be provided to
doctoral students. The $34,000 annual support covers stipend,
tuition, and expenses as follows:
1. Stipends: For the 2003-2004 academic year these will be $17,000 for 12-month tenures, and prorated monthly at a maximum of $1,417 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.Annual Fellowship Conference2. 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.
3. Expense Allowance: Up to $5,000 will be provided to pay for items and activities for the direct benefit of the student's education, such as for health insurance, books, supplies, equipment, 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.
If requested, Fellows are expected to attend an annual EPA MAI Graduate Fellows Conference each year they are in the program. Resources to support this travel are to be taken from the expense allowance.
International
Activities
The fellow's 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.
THE MAI FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION PACKAGE
The application package for a MAI Fellowship consists of three major parts: 1) the pre-application, 2) three letters of recommendation, and 3) a self-addressed, stamped postcard. The pre-application provides the reviewers with information about you and your proposed research, the letters provide support for your pre-application, and the postcard allows us to keep you informed about the status of your pre-application. This section provides information you will need to complete each part of the application package.
When completing the application package for a MAI fellowship you will need to describe your educational level at the time of submission. There are only four appropriate levels; choose one of the following:
1. Entering Master's Student (EM) if you are applying for, or enrolled in, a master's program and have completed less than one year* toward this degree.NOTE * Students who have completed more than one year of their master’s or four years of their Ph.D. program are not eligible for the MAI fellowship.2.

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 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 field of study. Students applying for fellowships must select a single Sorting Code and Title from the list provided. Reviewers are recruited based on the specialty fields represented by 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, recommendations, and career goals and objectives.
Reviewers will recommend the best applicants from each of the four 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;The necessary forms are available on the NCER homepage www.epa.govhttps://www.epa.gov/research-fellowships
2. EPA Form 5700-49, "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and
other Responsibility Matters;" and,
3. Sealed official transcripts from all institutions (if so instructed by EPA).
Pre-applications must be received at EPA no later than 4:00 p.m., EST, on November 18, 2002. Pre-applications may be submitted by regular mail, express mail, or uniformed courier services. If using regular mail, allow sufficient time for delivery since applications MUST be at EPA by 4:00 p.m. EST on November 18, 2002.
If sending by regular or priority U.S. mail, send the original AND SIX (6) COPIES of all required materials to:

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.
