EPA Marshall scholarships

The U.S. EPA and the Marshall Scholarship Fund have teamed up to create new scholarships to further the work of students researching global environmental problems. Beginning this year, the EPA Marshall Scholarship Program will fund as many as three students for up to five years of graduate study, including two years at a British university. The proposed program of study must be demonstrably relevant to environmental protection, restoration, or stewardship; environmental public health; or ecosystem health. Applicants must be pursuing a graduate degree, and first consideration will be given to those whose work emphasizes collaborative approaches to solving international problems, technology exchange, or research to improve international dialog regarding the environment, according to the joint EPA Marshall Scholarship Program. For more information on the scholarships, which have an October 1 application deadline, go to www.marshallscholarship.org/applicationepa.html.
