What funding and work opportunities are available to incoming ETaP students?
Students in the ETaP program receive funding support from a number of sources, including federal and state financial aid, fellowships and scholarships, research assistantship and teaching assistantship jobs at the university, and jobs for businesses or organizations in the community. Information about funding support options can be found through the Funding Opportunities link on the ETaP website. The main source of research assistantship positions for ETaP students in recent years has been the Schatz Energy Research Center (see #9, below), and the main source of teaching assistantship positions has been the Environmental Resources Engineering department. Over the past few years, ETaP students have successfully applied for funding from the Schatz Energy Fellowship, the Switzer Fellowship, the American Association for University Women (AAUW), and Wolford-Hegy Rotary scholarships. Students are encouraged to actively seek funding support from these and other similar sources.
