About this scholarship
The EPP Undergraduate Scholarship Program (USP) supports two years of undergraduate study for rising junior undergraduate students at accredited minority serving institutions who are majoring in fields that directly support NOAA's mission, including STEM and social sciences. The award includes a stipend for junior and senior academic years, two paid internships at NOAA facilities, and conference participation. Scholars also benefit from professional development and networking opportunities. Students receive awards of up to $45,000 in support (including travel and conference participation) during their junior and senior years. Students complete two paid NOAA internships and receive a stipend and housing allowance: First summer of the award includes an 11-week paid internship and professional development training at NOAA in Silver Spring, Maryland, between May and July. The first two weeks of the internship consist of a two-week orientation program. Second summer of the award includes a 10-week paid internship at any NOAA facility across the country. During the academic year, students conduct research and a service project at their institution. At the end of both summer internships, students present the results of their projects at the Science and Education Symposium in Silver Spring, Maryland.
