Since 2001 when this foundation was opened, over 186 students have completed the program.
The main goal of the EPP Undergraduate Scholars Program is to increase the number of students in targeted academic fields integral to NOAA’s mission.
Full Description
The preference will be given to students who have completed their sophomore year, attending minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and have recently declared a major in atmospheric, oceanic, or environmental disciplines.
When it comes to some information related to this scholarship program, you should know that students receive awards valued at up to $45,000 during their junior and senior years.
Student scholarship recipients attend a two-week orientation at NOAA in Silver Spring, MD, and begin their first summer internship in early June.
Even ten recipients will be given this amazing award and you should try your luck.
