Grant Description

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seeks to enter into this cooperative agreement with an eligible entity which will provide training opportunities for high school students. One cooperative agreement will be awarded to a single recipient responding to this solicitation. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to stimulate interest among exceptional high school students, including under-privileged and minority students, in pursuing advanced degrees in math, science, environmental sciences and engineering. The essence of this program is to enrich the environmental science concepts that students study in the classroom and to provide research experience for high school seniors at a federal research facility. The research conducted by the students will be at the EPA facilities in Research Triangle Park, N.C. under the direction of EPA scientists who serve as mentors to the students.
