The RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service at the University of Texas at
Austin is inviting graduate students from around the United States to apply to the center's
Summer Fellowship Program. Fellows participate in an intensive four-week seminar (June
1-24, 2011) that culminates in the completion of papers for the RGK Center's working
papers series. Over the course of the seminar, fellows will critically examine issues in the
nonprofit sector and will work on their own research projects in nonprofit management,
volunteerism, international civil society, social entrepreneurship, and philanthropic studies.
Students are expected to submit a draft research paper that they would like to refine and
1
prepare for academic publication during the summer program. Ph.D. and masters-level
graduate students considering doctoral work are invited to apply. The application process is
competitive and takes into consideration the academic potential of the student and the
working paper topic. Complete program information and the application are available at the
above URL.

The program seeks to encourage talented science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers.
This program provides educational opportunities for Undergraduate Students, K-12
Educators.
This program supports institutions which may provide support to individuals at those
institutions. To inquire about opportunities in this program, contact one of the awarded
institutions, available by clicking on the Awards link. The Noyce Scholarship Track provides
funds to institutions of higher education to support scholarships, stipends, and academic
programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM
degrees who earn a teaching credential and commit to teaching in high-need K-12 school
districts.
The NSF Teaching Fellowship/Master Teaching Fellowship Track supports STEM professionals
who enroll as NSF Teaching Fellows in master's degree programs leading to teacher
certification by providing academic courses, professional development, and salary
supplements while they are fulfilling a four-year teaching commitment in a high need school
district. This track also supports the development of NSF Master Teaching Fellows by
providing professional development and salary supplements for exemplary mathematics and
science teachers to become Master Teachers in high need school districts.
Each track supports Capacity Building Projects to develop the capacity for institutions to
provide innovative teacher preparation programs to enable increasing numbers of STEM
majors and STEM professionals to become effective K-12 mathematics and science teachers
and to develop the capacity to prepare Master science and mathematics teachers.
This is a grants program that CSU has to apply to – individuals cannot apply to NSF to get
these funds. Contact your advisor and see if they will apply on behalf of CSU. An
information webinar on the program is offered in February – see the web page (URL above)
for details.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the National Network for
Environmental Management Studies (NNEMS) Fellowship Program in 1986 in recognition of
2
the growing interest in environmental issues and careers in environmental fields. NNEMS
program supports students who want to pursue environmental careers and offers “ a
comprehensive fellowship program that provides students an opportunity to participate in a
project that is directly related to their field of study.”
The purpose of the NNEMS program is to:
• Provide students with practical research opportunities and experiences in EPA’s
program and regional offices and in its laboratories;
• Increase public awareness of and involvement in environmental issues;
• Encourage qualified individuals to pursue environmental careers; and
• Help defray the costs associated with the pursuit of academic programs related to
the field of environmental protection, such as pollution control, science,
engineering, technology, social science, and specialty areas.
The fellowships are organized among four key areas:
• Environmental Policy, Regulation, and Law
• Environmental Management and Administration
• Environmental Science
• Public Relations and Communications
Please note that the announcement also says:
“Typically, the NNEMS program offers 30-40 fellowships developed and sponsored by
EPA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and in EPA’s 10 regional offices and laboratories
throughout the United States. However, in fiscal year 2011, the NNEMS program will
only offer approximately 15 to 20 projects, a majority of which are sponsored in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
The projects are specifically narrow in scope, allowing students to complete the research
project while working full-time at EPA during the summer or part-time during the school
year. Typically, the research is conducted at the EPA office, although other arrangements
can be made in certain circumstances.
Detailed descriptions of the fellowships are provided in the annual NNEMS Catalog and on
the NNEMS website: www.epa.gov/education/students.html and project descriptions can be
found at: www.epa.gov/education/NNEMS/2011projects.html.”
