Approximately 100 new fellowships will be awarded for research in environmental fields of study through the agency\u2019s Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program.<\/p>\n
The STAR program provides educational support for full-time masters and doctoral level students who plan to pursue environmental careers; with a focus on developing future leaders in environmental science, education, assessment, and restoration efforts.<\/p>\n
Deadline for applications is Oct. 18, 2005. Awards for this selection process will be made by May 30, 2006 for the fall term.<\/p>\n
More than 1,300 applicants compete each year for approximately 100 fellowships through a rigorous merit review process. A 2002 National Academy of Science report gave the STAR program an outstanding rating. The NAS report said STAR research results had improved the scientific foundation for decision-making at EPA since the program\u2019s inception in 1995.<\/p>\n
EPA has awarded more than 1,000 fellowships to students in almost every state and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n
Examples of project areas undertaken by previous fellows include environmental engineering, environmental health sciences, toxicology, and the ecology of aquatic and terrestrial systems.<\/p>\n
Fellows will receive up to $37,000 per year, with masters degree candidates eligible for up to two years of support and doctoral candidates for a total of three years.<\/p>\n
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or be lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence.<\/p>\n
