Mechanism For Supporting EPA’s Washington Internship for Native Students (WINS) Program

AIEO is currently developing two, three year grant packages of $450,000 each for scholarships and

internships. The Request For Proposals will be published in the Fall. Each grant package can then

be used as a vehicle for EPA Offices to provide funding support for American Indians. The

Internship program will include several internships within tribal communities where tribes have an

advanced environmental program. Part of the scholarship program is for the students to earn college

or university credits for their work. This agreement can be with TCU's or local colleges or

universities. Caren Robinson can be contacted for additional information at 202-564-0544 or .
