DALLAS - (April 1, 2015) A student from Louisiana Technical University in
Ruston, La., was awarded a research fellowship grant by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA issued fellowship grants to
students pursuing environmental science or other related fields of study at
universities and colleges across the nation. 

"Supporting students in fields of environmental studies provides a
continuous stream of specialists that will help us meet new environmental
challenges," said EPA Regional Administrator Ron Curry. "We are proud to
support some of the most promising future contributors to the environmental
field."

 

These grants were among $1.7 million given to 34 students nationwide through
EPA's Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowship program. The
recipients are eligible to receive up to $20,700 a year of academic support
and $8,600 to use for a summer internship. Previous fellows have gone on to
become government researchers, engineers, university professors, and high
school science teachers.

 

The GRO fellowship provides students with financial support, while giving
them the opportunity to have a paid internship at an EPA facility working
with scientists in their field of study. The award-winning students are
undergraduates entering their junior year.

 

For more than 30 years EPA's GRO Fellowship has provided students in
environmental science related fields the tools to succeed not only in their
undergraduate studies and internship, but also in their future careers. The
GRO program gives institutions the opportunity to grow and create a culture
of excellence through their students.

 

The solicitation for the next round of GRO fellowships is now open for
applications.
