The awards include 91 scholarships at 4-year institutions, 1 scholarship at a 2-year institution, and 32 fellowships for students at U.S. colleges and universities. Through this program, undergraduates at 4-year institutions will receive $10,000 and undergraduates at 2-year institutions will receive $5,000 to help cover education costs for the upcoming year, while the three-year graduate fellowship provides $169,000 each year to help pay for graduate studies and research. Fellowships also include $7,000 to fund an internship at a U.S. national laboratory or other approved research facility to strengthen the ties between students and DOE's energy research programs.
