PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that a student from the College of William and Mary will receive a fellowship to support environmental studies.
Nathalie Moore will receive the $50,000 Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowship to expand her research about invasive plants.
“With the help of this funding, undergraduates like Nathalie will be able to explore their passion in environmental science and cultivate their research skills,” said EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. “EPA knows today’s students are tomorrow’s environmental scientists and engineers who will lead the way in protecting human health and the environment.”
The fellowship will give Nathalie a maximum of $50,000 for up to two years and a summer internship at an EPA facility where she can work with EPA’s engineers and scientists.
This year, 34 undergrad students at 28 colleges and universities received the fellowship. Students who receive the fellowship are pursuing degrees in environmental science and other related fields.
Since it began in 1981, the GRO Fellowship program has awarded more than $13 million in funding to nearly 400 students.
