EPRI Serves on Steering Group for Hydro Research Foundation Fellowship Program
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded a three-year, $3 million grant to the Hydro Research Foundation to fund graduate fellowships in a broad range of topics related to conventional and pumped storage hydropower.  On Feb. 4–5, the program’s Steering Group (with EPRI representation) met in Denver to finalize announcement materials and fellow selection criteria.  Approximately 25 fellowships will be awarded to masters students (two years) and Ph.D. students (up to three years).  Fellows will receive a living stipend, tuition allowance, allowance for university-provided health coverage, and funds to participate in three Hydro Fellows Roundtables.  The Steering Group will meet in Washington in late April to select the first class of fellows.  For more information, contact Paul Jacobson, (410) 489-3675, pjacobson@epri.com.
